Living in France: A Practical Guide to Your New Life in France

Présentation de l'éditeur Living in France is a hands-on, practical guide for Britons who have bought a house in France, either for holiday use or as a permanent home. Written by a long-time French resident, it takes a nitty-gritty approach to what it is really like for a British ex-pat to live and work in France, looking squarely at both the pleasures and the difficulties. The book also contains anecdotes from the author along with case studies so that the reader may benefit from the personal experience of other Britons who have made the move to France. Biographie de l'auteur Patricia Mansfield-Devine is a professional writer and journalist. She and her husband, writer and photographer Steve Mansfield-Devine bought a property in France in 1996 and moved there permanently in 1999, where they now live with a menagerie of animals. When not writing, they can be found restoring their medieval property and trying to create a garden out of a hectare of neglected orchard.
