Retiring to France

Volume III, Issue 23

Today’s feature article was written by David Andelman, Executive Editor of Forbes.com. Andelman recently joined Forbes from the New York Daily News where he was Business Editor. Previous posts included impressive positions with Small Cap Center and Bloomberg News, including 12 years as a foreign correspondent for the New York Times and seven years as Paris Correspondent for CBS News.
“During his 30 years in the news industry, Andelman has covered some of the world’s most significant global issues including all U.S.-Soviet summit conferences and Geneva talks on weapons reductions during the early and mid-80’s and interviews with public figures from around the globe.”(http://www.strategiy.com/mnews.asp?id=20050501103542)
David Andelman’s love of Paris brings him here from time to time. It was his last trip over the Christmas holidays that inspired yesterday’s article about Americans, particularly retirees, purchasing property in Paris, featuring the role we here at French Property Insider play to assist in their efforts.
Pascal Fonquernie, Director of Parismarais.com, contributed important information to the article — the benefits retirees in France enjoy. If you’re considering making the move to retire here, soon or even in the future, then take note of some of the advantages the over ’60’s can enjoy.
Every month, with the help of Pascal and his team, I write the Parismarais newsletter, issued the 15th. It’s free, so to subscribe, it’s a simple as visiting http://www.parismarais.com/parismarais-newsletter.htm
For newlyweds, Paris ranks as the number one destination, according to a recent survey. Are we surprised? Here’s your opportunity to buy a “sexy” pied-à-terre and decorate it romantically to appeal to the “Just Married.”
A 900 year anniversary of the death of Rabbi Rashi takes us to the medieval city of Troyes in the Champagne region. Troyes is the préfecture (capital) of the Aube département and is located on the Seine river. The 1420 Treaty of Troyes, which settled the Hundred Years’ War, was signed there and during the Middle Ages, it was an important trading town. It was also the birthplace of Rashi, and a number of illustrious French scholars, including Édouard Herriot (1872-1957), a radical politician of the Third Republic who served three times as Prime Minister. Just a two-hour drive from Paris, it’s a lovely city both to live in and to visit.
Scroll down for samples of beautiful properties in Troyes along with a few special ground level apartments perfect for retirees and a rental apartment in the heart of the Latin Quarter on rue de la Huchette, plus a leaseback property in the heart of the Pink Granit Coast of Brittany and Normandy.
A bientôt…

Paris: Expat Real Estate Boom
By David A. Andelman, Forbes.com
June 8, 2005
< /strong>
http://www.forbes.com/2005/06/08/cx_da_0608paris.html

There’s a stunning new population trend in Paris–Parisians are selling their flats and moving out to the ‘burbs. On the face of it, that’s not truly astonishing. It’s been happening in the U.S. since World War II ended. The stunning fact is to whom Parisians are selling these days. It’s to Americans, especially older Americans. They’re the ones who are buying and moving in–in droves.
Despite the cost–after all, the euro is just coming off all-time highs against the dollar–Paris has somehow managed to retain its magical qualities for a host of foreigners, but especially for Americans.
“Some 20% of the sales in Paris are to non-resident foreign customers,” says Adrian Leeds, an American in Paris who’s been helping her countrymen make the leap across the pond for more than a decade. She has never been busier. “We have 27,000 readers of our e-mail newsletter Parler Paris. And the trend will only continue as long as mortgage rates remain low. And they are still below 3%.”
To a certain extent Paris’ appeal is obvious. In addition to the capital’s world-class dining and largely inexpensive cultural attractions, such as the many museums where seniors (in France that’s generally defined as over 60) receive discounts, France boasts inexpensive, widely-accessible transportation and one of the best health care systems on the planet.
Paris’ subway, the Metro, offers half-price (demi-tarif) tickets to senior citizens who’ve had the foresight to obtain them at the Bureaux d’Aide Sociale (social aid bureaus) of the Mayor’s office of each arrondissement in Paris. (The city is divided into 20 such areas, each with their own bureaucracy–an institution that the French have perfected to a fine science of frustration.) And hyper-efficient long-distance trains, which have special spaces to accommodate wheelchairs, make Paris an ideal base for exploring the rest of France and Western Europe, where seniors also receive half-priced fares.
There’s also been a lot of progress in recent years in senior citizen access, according to Pascal Fonquernie, whose Web site, http://www .parismarais.com will soon be sporting a page especially for seniors. Most city buses now have special wheelchair areas and ramps that lower to the sidewalks, street corners have been ramped, and handicap parking spaces are starting to appear.
French health care is among the most accessible in the world and open to all residents. At least two insurance companies–Advantage Insurance Associates and European Benefits–offer affordable health and life insurance to Americans abroad. Moreover, if expatriates decide to enroll in the French social security system–and pay the brutally high taxes (see: “The Misery Index”)–they receive full state-run health care which is among the most comprehensive in Europe.
At the moment, Paris’ residential real estate market is a boon for everyone. Francophile Americans can buy a cozy corner in one of the world’s most romantic cities for about what they’d pay for a Manhattan pied-à-terre. And the French who are looking to retire to the ever more congenial and less frenetic suburbs or countryside are seeing their property values rising at 14% or more a year and are happy to find willing buyers with hard cash–regardless of their nationality.
“The French sellers are walking away with a lot of bucks,” says Leeds, “The French find the suburbs are becoming chic and gentrifying, and they can buy more property there for less money. They’re happy to sell out.”
So bring on the Americans. Leeds, who offers individual consultations to would-be immigrants for $290 for two hours, will hold her tenth day-long group conference in Paris on August 10. As many as 50 would-be buyers show up in Paris for study under her able tutelage and that of other experts–in fields ranging from real estate to insurance–at a fee of 347 euros, or approximately $425.
Indeed, there seems to be no end of support groups and companies for older Americans who decide to take the plunge. At the top of the list is Aide Personalisée Autonomie, or APA, which concerns itself with all disabled persons, and which has recently lifted all income requirements. Try two Web sites: http://www.esculape.com and http://www.apa.gouv.fr And http://www.agevillage.com contains a large data base of reference material on services available for the elderly (again, defined in France as over 60).
Once they arrive, older Expats will find a substantial and growing elderly population. According to L’Institut National de la Statistique et des Etudes Economiques (INSEE), the French statistics office in the Ministry of Economy, some 16.2% of the entire population was 65 or older as of January–up 1.4 percentage points over ten years ago (while the percentage of persons under 20 has fallen 1.2 points in the same period). Moreover, the numbers of deaths among the elderly–apart from a sharp spike during the catastrophic heat wave in the summer of 2003–has been falling regularly and is down this year by 8.5% over the average of the past four years.
Of course taking up permanent resident in France is not the only way to sample the French way of life in preparation for a possible retirement. A number of services, including http://www.parismarais.com, and http://www.apartment-paris.com, rent furnished Paris flats by the week or month. Conversely, the same services will help expatriate property-owners rent out their apartments for all or a substantial part of the year.
As Sabien Prouvost, spokeswoman for the French prime minister’s secretariat for the aging, says, “Tout le monde est bienvenue en France.”

Benefits for Seniors in France
By Pascal Fonquernie
http://www.parismarais.com

Here are some of the benefits seniors can take advantage of in France:
– Minimum resource allowance. No-one is left in the streets and everyone can get
a 500 euro income per month, plus free social security and unlimited medicare.

– Travel benefits. Receive 50% off train fares with SNCF if you are over 60 and buy a “carte de réduction.” Seniors can travel fast and cheap with the TGV!
– Aide Personalisée Autonomie (APA). Seniors with a physical or mental disability can get an extra benefit, based on income, to help pay for a private retirement residence (“maison de retraite”), including full assistance for those who can no longer care for themselves.
– COTOREP, a social benefit for the disabled. It is available even to the young; for example, those who have cancer or AIDS and cannot work receive a minimum allowance, as well as a discount or credit on taxes, and free home care with a nurse. It also provides priority access to many public services and free parking.
– APL Aide Personalisée au Logement. Offers assistance to pay the rent or mortgage to those who are over 60 and too poor to afford it.
– If you are renting a flat with any kind of lease and are over 60, you cannot be thrown out of your flat for any reason ( that can be a problem reverse when you own property)
– Many cinemas, theatres, museums and cultural events offer seniors discounts

In Your Dreams: Forget the Price Tag and Prepare to Be Wowed…

Property Consequences of EU “No” Vote
Last week’s NO vote in the Dutch and French referendums could have dire consequences for countries and investors alike…
Sunshine Holiday Leading property investor company Assetz has warned that British and Irish investors may miss out on investment opportunities in popular countries such as Bulgaria and Turkey.
UK investors were hoping to benefit from “windfall” house prices when these two countries joined the EU in 2007. However, following on from the resounding “No” vote from the French and Dutch, both Bulgaria and Turkey might find their bid to join the EU hampered, with resulting negative consequences for their economies and housing markets, and also for UK investors.
Assetz believes that some existing members of the EU are concerned about excessive growth of the Union and are therefore putting their considerable strength against new would-be member countries.
Turkey had been supposed to start its negotiations for EU membership this October but several members are already positioning their weight against the bid, according to Assetz.
In addition, both Bulgaria and Romania have signed a treaty to join in 2007, but unless this is agreed by all 25 existing members, it cannot go ahead. So far, only two EU countries have ratified.
Humanitarian Objections
Stuart Law, Director of Assetz, comments: “Bulgaria is presently suffering from corruption and widespread production thefts and Turkey still has significant human rights issues amongst a host of other problems which need to be dealt with to the satisfaction of all the EU nations. Otherwise membership could be off the cards.
“This would be likely to have a severe effect on the property markets in both countries which are already perceived as a little ‘wild-west’. Bulgaria in particular, which has benefited from strong early gains in house prices, would risk being sent into freefall.
“Investors should treat property investment in these countries as highly speculative and beware of the loose claims of guaranteed returns made by property agents.”
Risky Business
“Investors should be careful not to put all their eggs into one basket, especially property where the resale market could potentially fizzle out overnight leaving them high and dry. We think that the three highest risk property investment areas are now Turkey, Northern Cyprus and Bulgaria.
“Investors in search of capital gains at lower risk should look to countries like Southern Cyprus, which is now a full EU member and well on its way to membership of the Euro too in 2007/08.
“Prices are rising strongly and although early gains have already been had, the peak in prices is still some way off.”

Commemorating the 900th anniversary of the death of Rabbi Shlomo Itzhaki, RASHI
Maison de la France

http://us.franceguide.com/magazine/article.asp?idc=21464&

The year 2005 marks the 900th anniversary of the death of Talmud and Torah commentator RAbbi SHlomo Itzhaki, known as RASHI. He was born in the Champagne city of Troyes in 1040.

The RASHI Institute and the city of Troyes are proud to present events throughout the year to celebrate this momentous occasion.

The comprehensive guide covers the history of the Jewish community in France and features an extensive section on Paris and highlights sites of Jewish interest in 16 French regions.
