Still On An Upward Motion

Volume I, Issue 44

In yesterday’s Parler Paris, we published news that happily surprised me…. the city is launching a program called “Paris Entreprendre” to assist in the creation of new business enterprises in Paris!
I was delighted because in the nine years I’ve lived in Paris, I’ve seen things change drastically, not all for the better, but with the Internet came a more global viewpoint and with that viewpoint has come an entrepreneurial interest that hasn’t been, until now, a part of the French culture, so steeped in socialist ideas.
As it turns out, sixty-five CEO’s have agreed to personally assist new companies in their first year of establishment with their experience and their advice. In addition, an average amount of 30,000 Euros will be allocated to certain selected projects to facilitate bank loans for these new enterprises. This association falls under the national federation founded by André Mulliez — “Réseau Entreprendre” — comprised of 2500 company heads. This initiative reinforces the city’s support of the creation of new companies, new business and new jobs.
This news reinforces my feelings that as long as the ideas and efforts of Bertrand Delanöe’s administration continue, that this city is going to continue on an upward motion in all respects…culturally, economically, socially and politically. That means that property values are going to continue to rise and it won’t be long before Paris property is as expensive as New York, London or Tokyo.
Property all over France is continuing to increase in value — last year (from 2nd quarter 2002 to second quarter 2003) some spots increased in price as much as 21.3% (Nevers). A few showed decreases…and guess where?…in the northern areas of France, like Strasbourg, Brest and Boulogne-sur-Mer. But in the south, prices keep moving up at a steady healthy pace.
It makes me sleep well to know that I own a little piece of France, that is increasing in value as I snore zzzz’s and that the appreciation is in Euros, strengthening with every day.
A bientôt,

P.S. A reader, George B., just wrote and commented: “You have not had anyone address the ‘weak dollar’ and how much the ‘real’ cost of property is in Paris for an American because of the strong Euro.” Well George, we expect the Euro is going to get a whole lot stronger (up to 1.3), so buy now while the rate is as “low” as it is and watch your investment grow in EUROS.

STRICT LAWS TO INSURE RENTALS ARE LIVABLE CONDITIONS
By Adrian Leeds
Jeff Lehman, a reader with studio apartments in Paris (6th) and in Cap d’Antibes, reminded us of the strict laws passed January 30, 2003 on rentals, particularly “chambres de bonnes” These are the servants quarters traditionally on the top floor of Haussmannian apartments that when renovated, can make small apartments for students or rentals, or when combined, can make lovely larger apartments with lots of sun and fabulous views.
The law decrees that in order for a property to be rentable, it must be no less than 9 square meters and with a ceiling height no less than 2.2 meters. It must have an effective heating system, be well ventilated, drinking water, sanitation facilities and electricity to the standards. In addition, it is not possible to rent a tiny room without a window as it must have some daylight. It is also necessary that it has a kitchen or stove to boil water as well as a sink with hot and cold water
.
According to the decree, if housing is not to the standards or does not answer these criteria, the tenant can constantly make requests t the owner until the standard comfort level is met without calling into question the validity of the lease. The objective of the decree is to avoid abuse by landlords, particularly in the larger cities, where certain owners do not hesitate to rent tiny attics hardly having minimum comforts, and in many cases are unhealthy to live in.
EDITOR’S NOTE: This photo of the rooftops of Paris was taken by Jeff from one of his apartments on rue de Vaugirard.

===============================
BUYER’S REMORSE
Normally, when a loan is accepted on a property in France, French Law requires that the borrower is granted 10 days ‘remorse’ (sometimes known as a ‘cooling-off period’). All lending banks in France (whether French or otherwise) must offer this; although the fact that you, the borrower, has signed the Offer of Loan would indicate that you do require it! This period is obligatory and it can cause all sorts of last minute problems as the money will not become available until the 10 days has fully run its course – therefore on the eleventh day. This can be costly and time consuming, not to mention irritating and stressful.
There is, however, respite (albeit technical) for those real estate investors who are purchasing through an SCI (Société Civile Immobilière). Loans to SCIs need no cooling off period as far as the law is concerned. Your lending bank will try to impose the condition as it keeps them safer, but you can insist that this period be waived through your Notaire or simply plan ahead to make sure that the extra eleven days is taken into account.

I NEVER MET AN OYSTER I DIDN’T LIKE
By Adrian Leeds
Author of “Leeds Good Value Guide to Paris Restaurants,”
Every year I think that when the air turns fresh and cool, and the name of the month has an R in it, the oysters will come out to tempt me. Particularly during the holiday season, you’ll see vendors curbside in front of super markets and poissoneries shucking and making mountainous trays to send home with you, as restaurants offer up varieties of oysters for the entrées du jour on their blackboards.
In fact, oysters are cultivated and farmed all year, though in May, June, July and August – the warmest periods – but precautions are taken in transporting them. From May till September, when the oyster is busy with its reproduction, you may find the liquids in the shell somewhat milky. So if you already have qualms about downing oysters, this may not be the best time to try them.
I learned to eat raw oysters (from the Gulf of Mexico) at the age of two, and they were served with a mixture of ketchup, lemon, horseradish and hot sauce. Momma said, “Don’t look at it – just dip it in the sauce, put it in your mouth, bite on it once or twice, not more, then swallow it down. Now isn’t that delicious?”
Very Different Mollusks
And of course, it was. Eating a freshly shucked plump, sweet, juicy oyster was as sensual an experience as I had come across in my young years…and it still is.
Here in France, like with almost every other experience, eating an oyster was a new adventure. You see, a French oyster and a Gulf oyster are very different mollusks. And within France, you are faced with having to familiarize yourself with a large variety of oysters – those farmed and harvested from different parts of France plus oysters defined by size and refinement…plump or lean; small, medium or large; more or less solid, fat or refined.
Oysters are classified according to official regulations in five categories that correspond to weight ranges – from 5 as the smallest to 0, the largest. The French, as a practical matter, tend to define them simply as Petites, Moyennes and Grosses.
Conditions of refinement fall into two main categories:
1) Those that stay in their final stage of refinement in the basin for less than three weeks in a density of 20 oysters per square meter.
2) Fleshier oysters that stay up to six weeks in a density of 10 oysters per square meter.
Some producers have marketed a special oyster known as Spéciales Pousse en Claires having been refined four to six months in a density of five oysters per square meter. These are available only in fall and winter and are, of course, the top of the line, the haut de gamme!
Farmed Since Roman Times
The French have almost as many terms for defining the taste of oysters as they have for wine: bien en chair for a firm, crispy, milder taste, bien équilibrées for a well balanced taste with smooth flesh, “bien en eau” for not too much flesh with a little bit of a salty taste.
The river Seudre in the south of Charente-Maritime flows through Saujon before forming the Marennes-Oléron basin. Oysters have been farmed there since Roman times, and the area is still the heart of French oyster region, producing 45% of all the huîtres creuses eaten in France.
Renowned for their taste and purity, oysters go through a final extra refinement stage. For 30 days, the oysters are put into natural inland sea-water basins (claires) where they take in glycogene and become fleshy and green. A special blue seaweed native to these waters turns the oysters green.
The Bélon oyster, named after the bay in which they are raised on the Brittany coast (known as the European Flat Oyster in the U.S.), is also cultivated in New England and the Pacific Northwest in the U.S.
Don’t Forget the Wine
Because of a mix of fresh water and seawater, the Bélon oyster is famous for its noisette, or hazelnut, flavor. French promoters of the
Bélon claim that in less than 10 years, they have replaced Belgian varieties on the platters of most of the finest restaurants in Paris. Five generations of ostréiculteurs have farmed oysters in Bélon and preserved their high quality.
To fully appreciate a French oyster, eat them with no dressing, although they are normally served with lemon or red wine vinegar with shallots and accompanied by bread (usually rye) and a dry white wine, such as Muscadet, Grâves, Bourgogne, Sauvignon, Sancerre or Riesling. Don’t hesitate to chew.
To dine well on oysters in Paris, LFP readers might consider a few of our favorites:
Le Dôme (literary chic), 108, boulevard du Montparnasse, 75014 Paris; tel. 01 43 35 25 81, fax 01 42 79 01 19. Open 7 days a week, 12 noon to 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. to midnight. Lunch or dinner 50 Euro to 90 Euro per person.
Wepler (big and bustling), 14, Place Clichy, 75018 Paris; tel. 01 45 22 53 24, fax 01 44 70 07 50. Open 7 days a week, 12 noon to 1 a.m. Lunch 15 Euro to 60 Euro per person, dinner 25 Euro to 60 Euro per person.
Cap Vernet (elegant), 82 avenue Marceau, 75008 Paris; tel. 01 47 20 20 40, fax 01 47 20 95 36. Open 7 days a week, 11:30 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Lunch 25 Euro to 90 Euro per person, dinner 30 Euro to 90 Euro per person.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Recently I dined on a Seafood Platter at Bofinger in the 4th arrondissement, well known for it’s Belle Epoque decor and fabulous fresh seafood. Not only was the service less than adequate, but I came home with a small case of food poisoning!

OYSTERS AND WATERSPORTS
By Jocelyn Carnegie
The Charente-Maritime forms the southern coast of Poitou-Charentes region. The walled sea port of La Rochelle has its ancient harbor, the oyster beds of the Ile d’Oleron and the holiday and sailing resort of Ile de Ré. Numerous historic forts protect this strategic coastline and it offers miles of sandy beaches, bird sanctuaries and a zoo. The region offers many different leisure activities including horse racing, casinos, beach clubs, sailing schools, tennis, riding, cycling, windsurfing and sand yachting.
The port of La Rochelle has many fascinating buildings and landmarks from the very ancient to modern. The mouth of the ancient dock is flanked by monumental towers and a huge clock forms part of the gateway between the harbor and town. La Rochelle’s Port des Minimes is now the largest marina on France’s Atlantic coast.
The Ile de Ré can be reached via a toll bridge. It is mainly a tourist destination with 60 kilometers of tracks to walk or cycle.
We return to our story from the mainland via a 3km bridge which spans the oyster beds of the famous Marennes-Oléron from the Ile d’Oleron. A museum in Fort Louvois celebrates oyster and mussel farming. The landscape is of long sandy beaches with a backdrop of sand dunes and vast forests.
The Charente-Maritime offers a richness of ancient French culture, with gastronomic and leisure activities to match.
