I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Why buy in the North?  If you are going to buy a property in France go South or at least if you are going to buy somewhere in the north at least buy some property near where they make good wine.

And whatever you are budgeting in time and money for renovations (and there will be renovations needed) double the money and triple the time - and that is if you hire someone in the town for an outrageous sum to manage the whole thing for you during the renos and while you are away.  If you dont do this then all estimates are worthless.

Seems like you could accomplish the same thing at 5-10% of the price and hassle by buying a time share.

I don't do time shares. EVER.

I agree as a concept they are somewhat lame, but buying, maintaining, and renting out a foreign property has got to be a tremendous pain in the ass. I think even bringing your entire family out there will cost a crapload of money each time. Truthfully, I would just rent out a place if I were you. You may say you love Normandy now, but what about in a couple years? A time-share is a nice compromise between buying a property and just renting a place each time you head out there.
