Moving Up and Out of the City

Volume IV, Issue 24

Last Sunday I took a trip to the “banlieue” (suburbs) of Paris to discover a very different world, but just a few minutes by regional train or Métro from the city. Living in affords the luxury of larger spaces, more greenery and the advantage of all the city has to offer just nearby.

Today we offer you a look at these parts of the Ile de France, particularly Ville d’Avray and Saint-Cloud, plus the rising prices of the entire region. Parisians are selling out and moving out while moving up and experiencing even more appreciation in their suburban homes.
Meanhwhile, the new trends among British buyers are reported to purchasing more in urban areas rather than the countryside according to The Telegraph. Read all about it in today’s issue.
Both UCB and GE MoneyBank bring us news from the land of lending. Rates are increasing slightly, but getting a bank account in France is getting easier! Competition among lenders is healthy and customers are reaping the benefits.
It was warm as toast at La Pierre du Marais Tuesday afternoon for Parler Paris Après Midi, even with all the windows open and the lights off. We drank more than usual and had even more fun — keeping cool from the gentle breeze of Aussie Judy Schreiber’s battery-operated hand-held fan that sprayed cool mists on anyone who got near her. Read the whole story and see all the photos at https://adrianleeds.com/wp-content/uploads/newsletters/parlerparis/apresmidi.html then put it on your calendar to join us next month on July 11th.
The last week of July, I will be traveling on vacation, so make a note that French Property Insider will not be published on July 27th. Wile we’re gone July 21 – 30, 2006, my Marais apartment will be available for rent in its entirety and my new studio “Le Provençal” will be ready for rental starting from August!

Opening an Account from Abroad Has Never Been Easier — With UCB, You Can Invest with Complete Peace of Mind!
From UCB

As you may know, you must open a bank account in France when investing in French property. Indeed, your monthly loan repayments can only be debited from a current account in France. The partnership between International Buyers and BNP Paribas now means that we can make this a simple process for you and ensure an excellent service. The offer, called the “Esprit Libre” (meaning “peace of mind”) package, combines financing properties for non-residents’ investments with opening a current account with BNP Paribas from abroad.
ESPRIT LIBRE includes all the essential banking products and services
* Online access to BNPPARIBAS.NET to manage accounts from abroad
* A CLASSIC
Visa, PREMIER Visa or INFINITE Visa card
* Overdraft facility
* Insurance covering the your means of payment (bank card and check book) and also covering the loss or theft of your identity papers

Other insurance services
* Building and contents insurance covering theft, fire, water damage and climate-related events
* A highly effective alarm system: PROTECTION 24
* Car insurance

The process of opening an account is also designed to make life simple.
1. When arranging the loan, UCB gives you the BNP Paribas welcome letter, the form for opening a new account and a list of the documents required (certified letter of recommendation from your bank and a copy of proof of residence).
2. All you have to do is to sign and return the new account form, together with the documents requested, to us at the same time as returning the mortgage application.
3. Once the loan has been agreed, UCB sends the account opening package to BNP Paribas who then
performs the usual checks.
4. BNP Paribas will then contact you by telephone and invite you:
* either to come into the branch to validate the opening of the account;
* or to do this by recorded delivery.

The new account must be validated within one month following the start of the procedure. The new service is supported by documents in French and English.
As you can see, everything can be dealt with from a distance or face to face — you decide. To find out more, do not hesitate to contact your usual mortgage advisor.

Sunday in Ville d’Avray
Excerpt from Parler Paris
https://adrianleeds.com/wp-content/uploads/newsletters/parlerparis/
Monday, June 12, 2006

The warm, sunny weather of Paris these June days have beckoned us devoted urbanites to venture into greener pastures…to the countryside and even the “banlieue” (suburbs) where life is a little slower, a little more serene. For some odd reason this past week, I was drawn to the west side outside Paris, into the Ile de France, to the area around Saint-Cloud, by the invitations of a variety of different friends and events. As a student of psychoanalyst Carl Jung’s theory of “synchronicity,” a phrased he coined himself, I paid particular attention to why this should be so important in the thread of my grand life plan.
Sunday at noon, we headed for the Gare Saint-Lazare, where trains to the banlieue leave every few minutes from tracks numbers 1 through 4. The short ride took us to “Sevres-Ville d’Avray,” just past Saint-Cloud, to lunch with friends at their “cottage” nestled among a wild and vibrant garden they call “magical.”
An apéritif of Pernod Ricard pastis (anise-flavored liqueur), a traditional Summer drink throughout France (particularly in Provence), started off a very lazy afternoon. Under the umbrellas at the outdoor tables, we feasted on a large variety of fresh Oriental salads, made by a local merchant — the best I’ve ever had.
Serge Bourguignon’s 1962 melodramatic film titled “Dimanches de Ville d’Avray” set in the 1950s, is a story of a former military pilot, Pierre Kruger, who returns home from the French-Indochinese war suffering from amnesia, and becomes emotionally attached to a 12 year-old convent girl. Eventually people become suspicious of this man-child relationship, and when the police encounter the pair, they misinterpret a gesture of Pierre toward the girl, and shoot him. The story is tragic, but Ville d’Avray is certainly not a tragic place. In fact, it’s quite the opposite!
The beautiful “étangs” de Ville d’Avray (ponds) were painted by the artist Corot and supply water to the fountains of the Parc de Saint-Cloud nearby. Our friends had heard that three times every Sunday afternoon all this month, the fountains at the park simultaneously spout at 3 p.m., 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. In the fountains float several large paintings as part of a project called the “Dessein d’Eau” sponsored by the cities of
Saint-Cloud and Ville d’Avray until July 15th. Y
ou might not find that the Summer’s most exciting event, but if you take a seat in front of the temporary large tent at the edge of one of the ponds, you can relax to a classical music concert beginning at 5:30 p.m. Yesterday, thousands of people were there picnicking under the tall shade trees on the cool grass enjoying the beautiful lazy day. All this is free, except for a small charge of 2,50 euros to park your car. (To get there without a car from Paris, take the Métro #9 in the direction of Pont de Sèvres to the end of the line and switch to the 179 bus.)

Next weekend, June 17th and 18th, Ville d’Avray joins in with the celebration of “La Fête des Etangs” — a cultural festival under the theme of “Le Feu et l’Eau” (Fire and Water). This is another chance to take in the spirit of Summer in music, song, and dance…out in the “banlieue” where life is a little lazier. (For more information, visit http://www.mairie-villedavray.fr/)
That was the message I left with yesterday…to slow down, smell the fresh air, take in the cool breezes from the fountains’ sprays and let the music carry me away to serenity.

Au Revoir to The Rural Idyll…Vive le City
June 13, 2006
http://www.telegraph.co.uk

Farmhouses lose their appeal as buyers follow metropolitan line, writes Michael Streeter
The allure of the south of France is as strong as ever for British property buyers. Those perfect blue skies, the dazzling sea and the Cézanne landscapes have lost none of their appeal for buyers seeking an escape from the greyness of northern Europe. Yet, while the south of France may be as popular as ever, many of its idyllic, rural properties are not. Crumbling stone farmhouses, sprawling outbuildings and acres of overgrown land are no longer, it seems, the flavor of the day.
Instead, the new breed of buyer wants it all. They crave the same level of comfort, and cultural attractions they enjoy in Britain – plus the climate and surroundings of France. And as they plan to spend more time in their new properties, they do not want to feel trapped in remote country properties during chilly winters when the best restaurants and top attractions close down. As a result, buyers are snapping up chic city apartments or villas along the coast, or heading for developments that combine the unique feel of the south of France w
ith the trappings
of modern life.

This new phenomenon is evident not just in Nice and Cannes, but also Marseille and other large conurbations along the coast. Buyers see them as ideal destinations for weekend or longer breaks because of the facilities they boast, and their closeness to airports with low cost carriers. Others are choosing to buy in smaller towns, which still offer visitors a range of facilities all year around.
Trisha Mason, managing director of VEF French Property, says these buyers are in search of a “sustainable lifestyle”. She says: “It’s all very well to have a lovely rural location – but what happens when you want to go to the cinema, if you want to hear music, or if you would like to have a good selection of good shops and restaurants on your doorstep?” She says that two decades ago the majority of Britons looking for property wanted the classic rural idyll. Although traditional isolated properties remain popular, many people no longer want to “escape” modern life – they just want to experience it where the sun shines. “What these people are trying to achieve is a similar lifestyle to that which they have at home – but with a much better quality,” she says.
Jean-Claude Caputo, of Riviera Estates in Nice, which represents Savills International, says the rush to the cities is caused by people no longer wanting to use their property just for holidays. “They are spending more and more time here, not just in the summer season, so they want facilities nearby.” This trend has been apparent for some time in Cannes. John Weaving, of property agents Cluttons, says: “We have seen in the past few years that villa owners are downsizing, from large villas with land to a more manageable property. And thanks to the quality and size of their villas, they tend to go for the top floor, high-standard apartments.”
These properties do not come cheap, ranging from around Euros 250,000 (£170,000) for one-bed investment flats to rooftop villas going for £685,000, right up to £2 million in the most exclusive locations in Cannes.
Along the coast from the traditional markets of Nice, Cannes and Antibes is Marseilles. Founded in 600 BC by the Greeks, this wonderfully located city has long suffered a reputation as a home of drugs, gangs and crime, an image reinforced by the classic film The French Connection. Recently, however, Marseilles has been undergoing a huge redevelopment and renaissance. It is already a popular destination for many French people, especially Parisians, who can reach it by the high-speed TGV rail link in just three hours. And for those looking for property as an investment it could be a smart long-term buy, thanks to a strong local rental market. So far UK property experts have not moved into the market in big numbers. But those who have are impressed. The consultancy Investors Provident recently marketed a series of one, two and three-bed flats in a new development called Pavillon Massalia. The prices ranged from £105,000 to £171,000 and all 10 were snapped up within weeks.
Meanwhile, for those not prepared for the bustle of big city life, but still wanting many of its facilities, there is a trend towards newbuild developments in rural areas. For example, Savills International is marketing a 370-acre development called Les Domaines de Saint Endreol, in the Var department, about 45 minutes from Nice. This boasts a golf course and spa as well as a restaurant and bar and prices start at £280,000 for two and three bedroom properties.
France: check out
* Buying property in France is not harder than in England and Wales but, because of the language barrier, you need to make sure you fully understand everything about a property and its costs before signing anything.
* The solicitor often acts for both sides and is paid for by the vendor – but you can instruct your own lawyer if you want. The lawyers then share the fee, which can be as high as 10 per cent of the transaction on an older property.
* The usual process is to sign a preliminary contract called a compromis de vente or a promesse de vente. After this the buyer has a seven-day cooling off period during which they can pull out of the deal without penalty. After this period a deposit is paid and then after lengthy legal searches – sometimes taking two or three months – the final acte de vente is signed when the balance is paid.
* If you are seeking finance for your deal make sure that in the compromis de vente that the sale is agreed subject to you getting a loan or mortgage.
* Inheritance laws in France are very different from the UK – seek legal advice on this before you sign.
* If you plan to live in France full time and need to work there make sure you plan this well in advance. Check that any qualifications you have are valid in France and be aware of the high taxes that all workers, especially the self-employed, have to pay.
* Above all learn French. The main reasons for people returning home after trying to live in France are a feeling of isolation due to not speaking French and an inability to find work – often for the same reason.

The Musée du Quai Branly Opens Its Doors
From Maison de la France
http://www.franceguide.com

Study the history and lifestyles of ancient cultures at the Musée du Quai Branly.
On June 23, the Musée du Quai Branly will invite the world to its massive educational playground. Located on the banks of the Seine in Paris, the museum houses 300,000 objects from the civilizations of Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Americas.
The Quai Branly introduces the artifacts of these diverse peoples and cultures, acting as both a museum and learning center. It features a multi-media library, boasting 25,000 freely-accessible books, films, photographs and sound documents. Two audio-visual rooms give visitors an opportunity to place objects in their context, while an inform
atio
n system presents descriptions and sound programs near objects.

The Quai Branly is also a research center. Collaborating with researchers and curators who use the collections for study, the museum will invite them to teach in its auditorium and projection room.
The opening comes after ten years of planning and design. In 1995, President Jacques Chirac commissioned a project to rethink the way tribal and primitive art was displayed in the museums of Paris. The solution was to construct a new museum that would combine the broad collections of the Musée National des Arts d’Afrique et d’Océanie with those of the ethnological laboratory of the Musée de l’Homme. Collections of statues would also be exhibited in a new gallery at the Louvre, the Pavillon des Sessions.
Architect Jean Nouvel (Institut du Monde Arabe and the Cartier Foundation) designed the building with the demands of image, identity, environment and function in mind. The site spans 39,000 square meters and is surrounded by some of the most famous cultural institutions of France. The Quai Branly counts among its neighbors and peers, the Louvre, Centre Georges Pompidou, and the Palais de Tokyo/Modern Art Museum.
