tegwini Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Hello JayWe live just outside a village in the Vienne which is a department which is quite rural. They have a dozen or so houses belonging to the commune. People are there for a variety of reasons, and not all because they are unemployed etc.Our house's previous owner lived in one of these whilst he was selling and then building a new house. He was obliged to get out of the house by his ex-wife who forced him to sell so she could have her share of the property. It took him 3+ years to sell and build his new house.He is a really decent man, has a responsible job at La Poste, had built our house 30 years earlier (and it is about 280 sq metres) and is not living on benefits, or likely to cause any trouble for anyone. And this estate/HML are all very well built houses with gardens. We have visited him there. Far superior to the council houses we have in the UK.If you prefer not to have too many neighbours, best to buy somewhere more rural as we have done. Good luck whatever you do.Tegwini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 [quote user="Clair"]I believe the M in HLM stands for modéré rather than modique.[/quote]Usually it's good to check, but sometimes it's dangerous. I had thought the same as you, but the first couple of definitions I found said 'modique'. That turns out to be the Canadian version - I doubt that the OP will be looking that far afield [:D] Thanks Clair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billycourty Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 Yeah damn Canadian sites! They have so many good forums! Thats one complait i have with our francophone friends here in France, they don't know the value of a good forum!CordialementJaymee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
