Product: Boat to Baguette: A humorous memoir of a sea change to a French adventure
How hard can it be to buy a house in France? From living on a boat in the tropics of Australia to moving to France. Two Aussie adventurers begin the hilarious rollercoaster ride to live the dream.
They get wonderful neighbours, horrible drains, fabulous wines and French taxes.
A humorous look at embracing the two-hour lunch ... with wine while trying to fathom the French.★Author interviewDid all these things really happen?Absolutely. It may sound like we lurch from one disaster to the next, but sometimes we had a win. Our boating days made us ready for anything. Our French adventures cemented that saying.Did you ever dream you would have a seachange and live in France?Life is made up of the chances you take and your willingness to change. We didn’t think we’d spend years living on a boat. We didn’t think we’d buy a house in France, but when an idea gets into your brain, sometimes you just need to run with it. It makes life interesting.You left us wanting more. Is there more to the story?Yes. Living it up in France is the second humorous memoir. I pick up where we left off in Boat to Baguette and in this second memoir we get to go some amazing places in France. The champagne district, the Somme, Belgium and all on a motorbike. The fun times make all the renovation disasters worthwhile.
