With events here in Ohio making me all morose and shit(mind your own bidness), I've decided to actually get off my ass and get a property in Normandy.
First looks:
http://www.french-property.com/vp/nv/ds/lower-normandy-manche-avranches-mill/id/336159/fp/http:||www.french-property.com/
http://www.lemoulindeschateaux.com/
Two houses on 3 hectares (8 acres)
Substantial outbuildings/workshops
2 fishing lakes in the woods
The Cottage - 2 bedrooms
The Mill, 30yds away - 4 beds

:mmm:
Cons are that the houses split the bedrooms. With small kids, that just ain't going to fly. Unless I bring the nanny over also.
Pros that is only 400K euros and this bit:
QuoteHowever it is believed to be one of the two mills to be given to Hugues, Bishop of Avranches by Robert the Magnificent, Duke of Normandy after his pilgrimage to the area in the 10th century.
I can pretend to be a noble and wear my Burger King crown.
:frog:
France? Ewwwww
It doesn't look like Gandalf can fit in that doorway.
A house in Normandy? How David Sedaris of you.
If you get the Germans involved odds are you can halve the price.
So who's going to live there the other 50 weeks of the year?

I'm assuming I'll rent it out. No dogs or Polacks allowed.
Personally, I'd spend the money on a classic muscle car, but hey. Looks cute.

Looks awesome.
What is it about Normandy that attracts you, as opposed to any of the other bits of France?

Wife likes it. I find it tolerable.
Normandy is kinda rainy and damp :(
Also, expect major renovations in anything you buy in France, and expect to have it take forever. It won't be up to standards for sure. If you only go there a few weeks a year and rent it out the rest of the time, you might not care though.
Just a heads up, camarade.

So it is like having work done in Harlan Kentucky. The houses are wrecks, the contractors suck and there are no Mexicans to do the work.

In a related theme, that sort of reminded me of the project management thing we had going in London; drinking at lunch and quitting promptly at 3pm, dropping everything. You Euros are some lazy ass bastards. :lol:

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.
Quote from: Ed Anger on April 09, 2012, 06:53:11 PM

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.
Time shares are worse then owning. If you are going to rent then just find a nice place each time you want to go and rent it. That way you are not stuck with having to go to the same place each time - and with time shares you dont even get to go when you want.
True, but if he rents it out while not there, he cannot just drop in displace the tenant whenever he likes either.
At least, not without the Wehrmacht uniform. :P

Belgium is a good example of poor allocation of resources. Sure they have great micro breweries, but name one above average nation that does not these days. Even the US has good micro breweries for God's sake.

One does not need to travel to obtain truly good beer; therefore, any trip you make that is all about the beer is a waste of time and resources.

It's kind of sad when all my knowledge of German is military terms.
I have had my agent in the field examine several properties. EVERY GODDAMN ONE FAILED HER INSPECTION OF THE PROPERTY.

Seriously.
Rent a Volkswagon Thing, paint it feldgrau, then get driven around Normandy by someone and at various times order a halt then stand up and point with your riding crop at the ones you want.
I'm not flying out until I get a solid report from my female spy. I supply her with American treats, she'll do my bidding.
Likely a reasonable choice, those riding breeches would be an expensive part of my plan.

Let us know if you do actually pull the trigger on anything Ed, and how it goes from there.
Current thinking in the Barrister household is after retirement in 20 years is to downsize the Canadian property and buy a place in Italy to live in for half the year. I know, I know - the downside is living with Italians for six months. :(
I obviously don't have the resources you do, but with the house paid off at that point (heck - probably a bigger more expensive house paid off at that point) the numbers do seem to work from what I can tell from online browsing.

Northern Italy was fantastic, but not so good as a winter getaway.
Would probably compromise on Tuscany / Umbria to balance out the warm weather and the civilization.

About time :rolleyes: But it has been announced so many times that I will only believe it when I see it in Paris
intra-muros and near suburbs.
Apparently British house prices have fallen by about 11% in the past 4 years, inflation comes to another 10% or so during that period. It is a slow deflation rather than a collapse, partly, I think, because even if house prices are slowly falling they are still a better bet than many other assets atm. Meanwhile, for posh property in London it seems that prices continue to rise.
That type of market is not necessarily a problem if you want to buy your primary residence and have a secure job/income. But one could get badly burned buying a holiday place and then deciding that you would rather go on a cruise than face wet and windy Normandy again.
You misunderstand his intent. This is his beachhead from which he plans to father many more children; rinse and repeat until he eventually conquers the continent.
Tricky Dick: Thanks for the falling prices info. I figured Yuropeean housing prices would be declining.
And yes, I'd knock up my friend Aimee over there. I'd wreck her ass given half the chance.

They don't have to be of Aimee. Any reasonable French hottie will do.
No.

Doing shit like this requires boots on the ground, man. Can't do it Kosovo-style.
I'd like to do it Fall Gelb style. But stuffing myself in a long metal Airbus tube with their propensity of the tail to fall off just to fly out there for a couple of days doesn't excite me.
I called a meeting with the wife about the hunt. I offered a compromise. Rent a house for a month this year, get the boots on the ground and look while we are there and the kids get some exposure to a non douchebag culture. I even agreed to sacrifice the first month of Football season, since the Buckeyes play patsies the first month (mostly). She agreed if the nanny comes. :glare:
I ask the nanny if she would want to go. She said yes. I think the girl was excited to go.

I learned that a while back, but sort of forgot about it till I was there last week and had to catch a flight from this fucked-up hidden terminal... on the way there there was this little multimedia museum thing about the battle.

The genesis for the joke:
I'm walking in this village. I walk into this shop, and do the good day shit. I hear the gutteral voices of either Germans or Klingons. I pick up a few things, walk out. As I'm walking back to the Ed Fortress, I hear the faint echos of more gutteral krautness.

Judging by the results of my own Italian searches, I suspect you'll find that everything is either
A: been redeveloped and extrmely expensive
B: positively medeival and yet not cheap; or
C: modern construction
On the other hadn though, if yuo're on the ground, and able to close extremely quickly, maybe you will be able to find a gem.

All and all, a successful visit to the memorials. Trying to decide if Michael at age 4 can handle it.
Ate at a steakhouse called the Buffalo Grill. Theme? The American West. :lol: its a chain. :lol:
Food wasn't bad and service was slightly above French norms.
Also did some people watching in a French mall while the girls shopped. Hot chick rating: 8/10.

Fun fact: did you know Lesley Neilson's brother was a long-time Member of Parliament from the Yukon? I believe he was even deputy-PM at one point. Whitehorse International Airporrt is named the Eric Neilson Airport in his honour. :)

An update on the bug cheese:
US gov't reviewed the ban, upheld it. Called the cheese 'putrid'.
This caused a minor stink. A French deputy trade minister, in a moment of clarity, told the bug cheese makers they should come up with a export version if the want to go to the US market.

OH NOES! Given my luck, I might even bump on THAT guy and have to save him from the dark hordes to prevent a diplomatic accident. :(

I do have Anglo-Saxon ancestry but it's a definite minority contribution. I'm mostly of German heritage, and more of what's not German is Scottish, Scots-Irish, and Welsh.

That went out of style about 30 plus years ago when it became apparent the descriptor Anglo-Saxon didn't cover large portions of the population.

I don't know. Here's what wiki has to say (for whatever that is worth...):
QuoteSelf-identified German Americans made up 17.1% of the U.S. population, followed by Irish Americans at 12%, as reported in the 2000 U.S. Census. This makes German the largest, and Irish the second-largest, self-reported ancestry groups in the U.S. Both groups had high rates of immigration to the US beginning in the mid-19th century, triggered by the Great Potato Famine in Ireland and the failed 1848 Revolution in Germany. However, English-Americans and British-Americans are still considered the largest ethnic group due to a serious under count following the 2000 census whereby many English and British Americans self-identified under the new category entry 'American' considering themselves 'indigenous' because their families had resided in the USA for so long or, if of mixed European ancestry, identified with a more recent and differentiated ethnic group.

I guess that could be correct, but tons of earlier settlers to the colonies weren't Anglo-Saxon either. My German ancestors were all here by 1740, and pretty much all of Pennsylvania outside of Philadelphia proper was settled by Germans and Scots-Irish (cannon fodder for the French and Indians on the frontier. :cool: ) Also, there was a big Moravian settlement in North Carolina prior to the Revolution as well.

No shit. When did they move there, and when did they become lowland Scots (as opposed to chavs)?
I believe lowland Scotland was part of one or more of the old Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms. Northumbria(?) So I guess they moved there around the same time as the rest of the Anglo-Saxons. They became Scots because they were part of the Kingdom of Scotland afaik.

A part of my family comes from some shitty border scottish clan. Someone summarized what they did back in the day in some history: "They supplemented their income by taking livestock from the English side of the border. This border rustling stopped during wartime, however, when they dedicated themselves to the service of their king, which consisted of raiding into English territory."

QuoteHeavy rain brings floods to northern France
31 May 2016
Parts of northern France have been hit by flooding after sustained heavy rain swept the region.
The national weather service declared a red alert in the Loiret region and orange alerts in areas nearby as the River Loing burst its banks.
Further north, the Pas-de-Calais department was also on alert.
A child of three drowned in the Yonne department on Sunday and heavy rain also shut down the French Open tennis tournament in Paris on Monday.
French Open coverage
One of the towns particularly affected by the flooding on Tuesday was Bruay-la-Buissiere, near Lens, where firefighters patrolled the streets in a dinghy.
Emergency services were called out 4,500 times across the country between Monday evening and Tuesday morning as "numerous" roads flooded and hundreds of evacuations were carried out.
