Back to school in France: Rentrée

Going back to school in France is known as Rentrée. It is a big deal for the shops and hypermarkets in France. Expatica has some tips for Expats sending their children to a French school ...

The word shows up in all kinds of contexts, from the la rentrée politique when the government heads back to Paris to la Rentrée du Cinéma for when the more serious fare kicks summer blockbusters out of the theatres.

But the French take La Rentrée scolaire the most seriously of all, from lengthy news reports on how heavy a child's schoolbag, le cartable, should be to the announcement of the first teacher's strike of the school year.

Here we help those with school-age children, especially new arrivals, prepare for your 'rentrée' into the French educational system by briefing you on some particularities of the French back-to-school ritual and the 2006-2007 school year.

How to Follow the Heart-Healthy Greek Diet

Americans are experiencing an unprecedented health crisis – with obesity at an all-time high, diabetes and other deadly diseases are quickly reaching epidemic proportions. With nearly 30 percent of the U.S. population considered obese, a new wave of health and fitness enthusiasts have made shows like The Biggest Loser and other extreme weight loss shows, as well as new diet trends, quite popular. But what about the majority of those suffering from the complications caused by obesity

Is this why the Brits are re-inventing England in France?

You might have seen this on TV in the UK - but do we (the Brits) want France to become Little England? The French will not be happy and I cannot blame them - what do you think?

Here is a reminder ....

Extract from "On the Box"

If you’ve ever dreamed about quitting the rat race to start a new life speaking in broken French, eating fish ‘n’ chips and socialising with other ex-pats in the south-west of France then ITV’s latest semi-reality show could be of great interest to you. This new series follows the lives of a handful of the 20,000 Brits who have “upped sticks” and moved to the Dordogne in the hopes of finding a better quality of life and experiencing some of the “je ne sais quoi” of French culture.

What the programme revealed, however, is that living in France does not have to intrude upon leading a British lifestyle. A van load of bacon butties, bingo nights, cricket clubs and English butchers, all set up by entrepreneurial expats, are on hand to keep a sense of Britishness alive and kicking as you struggle on in the sunshine.

Rail Travel through Nice, Cote d'Azur and Corsica

The World's Greatest Railway Journeys will track through the south of France along the Cote d'Azur via lovely Med Villages and towns. We will first investigate the area of Nice and afterwards and then catch the boat to the island of Corsica. Under a brilliant sunny blue sky various trains will take us along the beautiful coast and through high mountainous landscapes, to Mediterranean villages and historical cities.

Know about commercial property sales and leasing in France

The commercial sector of French real estate has been seeing an upward trend since 2010, after 2 years of negative trend. The recovery recorded a 4% growth with rebound in values that has led to a total return of 10% as stated by the latest IPD France Annual Property Index. This increase has come after a cumulative decline in values over 2008 and 2009 of -12.7%, and although the recovery is going on, the return levels are below than what was before 2008. The reason for this is thought to be the attitude of Europe being location and asset specific. As a result investors show a preference for assets that are secure with good income and in a location that is central and stable. Hence there has been an emergence of a system that is two tiered in which the demand for the assets increases their value while the rest of the market is behind.

The highest returns for the year were delivered by retails and offices that were 11.0% and 9.9% respectively. The major cause of this was the significant turnaround in capital growth. An increase of 4.7% was recorded in retails while offices were at 3.6%. The industrials however continued to underperform as compared with other sectors with a capital depreciation of -0.7% although the total returns stayed positive at 6.8%. As a result of this upward trend, it is quite likely that the activities of sales and leasing will increase. Here are some guidelines you should keep in mind before buying commercial real estate in France.

   1. Legal Process – You should get guidance notes that consider the legal process of buying real estate in France that includes different types of French sale/purchase property contracts ( promesse de vente or a compromis de vente)  , the use of real estate agents in France, notaries (notaries) and legal advisors. French property surveys should also be considered that needs to be undertaken. The notaire you have will be required to take up a local planning search in order to provide you with a copy of the “plan cadastral” that will consider the pre-emption rights of the local council and SAFER which is the French land agency.
   2. Buying at a French property auction – You can consider the process of buying at French property auctions that includes the different types of French property auctions, advertising of French property auctions, the reserve price (mise a prix) the auction particulars (cahier des charge) and the French property auction procedure (vente a la bougie)
   3. Buying an off-plan French property – You can even buy off-plan French property known as vente sur plan. You need to consider the preliminary contract for an off-plan French property (contrat de réservation) and the deposit that you have to pay (dépôt de garantie). You then need to review the main contract known as Vente en l’état futur d’achèvement (VEFA) for an off-plan French property. You would also need to consider the financial guarantees (garantie de remboursement or a garantie d'achèvement) and building guarantees (la responsabilité décennale) that are to be provided to you.

Thus you should buy French commercial property by keeping these points in mind.

An American in Paris((tag;video))

Came across a new blog to me: American in Paris. Its aim is to experience France like a local with virtual video visits to events and places you won’t find in any tourist book or on any website.

Recently there was an interesting article: How We Travel in France for Very Little Money

For example,
5 days in Marseille, Toulon and the coast cost us this summer?

160 euros for hotels

129 euros for car rental for three days (drop off at different location than pick up)

50 euros for gas

15 euros for my train reservations, roundtrip

247 euros for eating out (we splurged a little more than usual)

3 euros for my magnet

601 euros Grand Total  (120 euros per day for two people)

Painting a picture at St Paul de Vence

The Daily Mail featured an article about one of our favourite places in Provence .... the walled medieval hilltop village of St Paul de Vence where Picasso and chums hung out at the Colombe D’Or.

In his day this was a three-room auberge. Today it is a small luxury hotel that nonchalantly hangs Picassos and other priceless works on its walls.  A good spot for a (wallet-busting) meal on a terrace sitting under vine leaves, it is besieged by the coach-loads of trippers who pass its doors walking up to the village, so you can’t just pop in to see the art.

Outside St Paul on a hill among pine trees is the Maeght Foundation, a top-flight gallery set up by art dealing friends of Henri Matisse in the 1960s to show off their highly distinguished and sometimes wacky collection of pictures and sculptures.
