About the Book:

Visitors to France spend relaxing evenings in street-side restaurants enjoying the ambiance, food, and wine and dream of a getaway place in France, but it is usually just that, a dream, seldom acted upon.

While on such a visit to France, self-confessed Francophile, Alan Shattock took the plunge and bought an old belle maison française in the small Burgundy village of Charry-sur-Saône, near Dijon. This is an amusing, true, and quirky story of the amazing coincidences and events before and after the purchase, the practicalities and disasters, and of villagers who came to he rescue. It is an engaging memoir that shares with readers the author's experiences of buying and renovating a place in France and of becoming accepted into the community. It gives positive encouragement and justification to those who dare to ignore the cautions given on television about buying that Place in France, and especially to those who dare to do so when armed with little French.
