Now the Hurly-Burlys Done
The harvest is finishing and the smell of fermenting grapes hovers over most towns and villages in our region - next month there will be a series of festivals with the fresh new wines freely supplied. The entry price is to listen to speeches from the mayor and a few dozen of the local dignitaries - the trick is to appear late enough to miss most of them , but not too late so as to be rude. I am still looking for a partner to work with me to develop our rentals and property websites. We are a year ahead of the rest of the world with our Pay Per Action technology and advertising systems. The big search engines are just beginning to realise that this is the way forward and it would be fun to be better and quicker than Google to get into this market. If anyone is able to help with developing some database driven sites, drop me an email to mailto:tony@frepro.com. tony@frepro.com Over the next few weeks I will be changing this newsletter so you can access the information you want from forums, RSS feeds and from a smaller, more regular mailing. I have to do this as the time to assemble and format a newsletter like this makes it too irregular and some important news gets out of date - I have over 300 articles and letters I have replied to ready for publication - to provide the help and advice I need to present the advertising.My aim is to send a shorter newsletter three days a week - any thoughts and comments on this would be greatly appreciated. In this newsletter. 1. Lead, Termites and Asbestos in French Homes 2. Inheritance in France - this can affect you 3. Haiku 4. Out Of Date Passport - a Cautionary Tale 5. Using your Pension Fund to buy Property in France 6. Missionaries in France 7. Registering a Car in France ======= There are over 1,000 articles in our archives at... http://francevoila.com/archives/ Archives Our holiday/vacation rental site is at... http://rentalsfrance.com/ RentalsFrance We advertise holiday villa and gite rentals in most parts of France, established in 1998 we are one of the most prominent and successful villa rentals sites on the Internet - and aim to stay that way. Do browse through our websites and please use the advertising links, they help pay for the site. ======= 1. Lead, Termites and Asbestos in French Homes Buying or selling a house in France - then you must have the expert reports on asbestos, lead and termites. The seller is legally obliged to pay for reports from approved experts which inspect the property for any traces of asbestos and lead and must also have an expert to inspect the property for any evidence of termite infestation. So what are the problems and health risks? To read the rest of this article, please go to http://www.fblog.com/?q=node/view/259 Lead, Termites and Asbestos in French Homes ======= 2. Inheritance in France - this can affect you Tony I've just read your very interesting article on Wealth Tax in France. I was surprised by the comment that you become resident for tax purposes in France if you spend more than 183 days any calendar year there. I used to work for the Inland Revenue and as a personal tax advisor until a few years ago, when I retired, and my understanding of British tax law has always been that I would remain resident and ordinarily resident in the UK To read the rest of this article, please go to http://www.fblog.com/?q=node/view/258 Inheritance in France - this can affect you ======= 3. Haiku Tony Good to get your latest newsletter with its account of a walk in August plenty which read very interestingly -- almost like a Cid Corman reading of Basho. To read the rest of this article, please go to http://www.fblog.com/?q=node/view/257 Haiku ======= 4. Out Of Date Passport - a Cautionary Tale A friend of ours, David McEwan who has a site at http://paintfrance.com/ PaintFrance had this experience recently - knowing David, who is a awesome caber munching Scot of the wild and Wooly variety - I was glad not to be in nail-spitting distance of him during this time. === We had been looking forward to our few days off for months.

Using your Pension Fund to buy Property in France A tasty Sipp for the rich? Pnsions used to be thought of as boring, but from next April they will be anything but that. After "A" day dawns, there will be tremendous fun to be had deciding what to put into that self-invested pension plan (Sipp).

Missionaries in France The traditional image of the British missionary simmering in a cannibal's cooking pot or trekking through the African bush can finally be laid to rest.
