With the limited web access available to me on my iPhone I thought to line up a short term base in France for my house hunting endeavours. I was amazed to find that the same real estate agents so eager to sell me stuff previously were less eager to help me find such a base. Not a good start. Had I broken some protocol I pondered, or was it just ‘the French?’
Fortunately an email to the English owner of a house I'd previously been looking at, literally a bucket's slops throw above the River Tarn, was happy to let me use his place as a base for a modest rent for the week. Camping can be only so much fun, speciallly on a 'house hunting' trip.
