The Grand Châteaux of the Mountains

Volume II, Issue 37

I’ve been in the States only a few days, but I am reminded of France at every turn.

U.S. Airways in-flight magazine has an Eiffel Tower on the cover this month headlined by “Where to Find a Touch of Paris in the South.” At first I thought it was referring to Provence or Languedoc-Roussillon. Upon further inspection, Paris of the South is Asheville, North Carolina, a town less than a two-hour drive from where I’d spent this past weekend (Knoxville, Tennessee), home of the Biltmore Estate, a 19th-century French Renaissance Château.
George Vanderbilt built it on 125,000 acres in the late 1800’s, designed by the architect of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, the grounds laid out by Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer of Central Park. Olmsted had attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and had modeled the mansion on French Renaissance châteaux. Biltmore is the second most visited house/museum in the U.S., behind only Mount Vernon and topping Hearst Castle.
A château of such grandeur nestled in the mountains is the center of author Thirza Vallois’ story of her very recent trip to the Aveyron where she visited the famous medieval château of Najac on the “lou Cami de l’Espanhia” — an alternative pilgrim route from Conques. Scroll down for more about her experiences there during an annual festival known only to the Aveyronais and a line-up of medieval château for sale in the unyet-discovered Aveyron. You could be a new owner!
Flying in yesterday to Washington, DC, sister city to Paris, one cannot help but think of Paris. The landing afforded breathtaking views of the Washington Monument, the Capitol, the Lincoln Memorial and the White House. A Frenchman, Pierre Charles L’Enfant, designed the street plan of what was then called “Federal City” with broad boulevards like those that Baron Haussmann gave Paris, and its buildings echo ancient Rome and Athens. Born in France (August 2, 1754), he came to the American colonies with Lafayette and became closely identified with the United States, adopting the name Peter.
Beginning tomorrow and over the next few days during the Living and Investing in France Conference, we will be talking about making that transition to a life in France…for some, just a home away from home to enjoy from time to time…for others, a permanent change in their lives. Attendees will learn how to have the right to live in France, how to learn the language, how to find and purchase property, how to make that property profitable, how to start a business and minimize your taxes and how to culturally adapt quickly and easily. Thirza Vallois will be speaking about Paris and her research in the Aveyron (“La France Profonde”) for her newest book. By Sunday afternoon, attendees will have learned in three days what it would have taken months of research in France to do on their own.
And we will have learned much from them, too — what their dreams and desires are and how we can help them make their dreams come true. I’ll be reporting on the progress in the next upcoming Parler Paris newsletters as well as next week’s French Property Insider.
So, stay tuned. And meanwhile, scroll down for an eclectic mix of articles that you can keep for reference when you’re ready to take the plunge into owning property in France.

A bientt,

THE CARTE DE PROPRIETAIRE
By Adrian Leeds
I had a big response to my crazy idea…seems as if many of you would be even more interested in buying property in France if the tangled bureaucratic web to have the righ
t to live in France were more easily obtainable and afforded a certain amount of privileges.
“I think your idea is worth pursuing because we are one of those potential investors who are on the fence because the current system is a bit more complex than we would like – but I have to say that it is not much different or more complex than the residency issues of other countries. Everyone wants to protect their social safety net and medical systems from those who would abuse them. That appears to be the underlying driving force for most nations’ residency controls.”
Of course, you understand that this is a BIG idea — one that will be very difficult to achieve, given the bureaucratic tangle itself. I will be pursuing the idea with whatever administrative connections I can muster and keeping you up to date on the progress — but don’t expect anything to be accomplished quickly or easily! Just keep your letters of encouragement coming!

FRANCE’S MOST BEAUTIFUL VILLAGES: THE AVEYRON
By Adrian Leeds
The Aveyron has captivated author Thirza Vallois — home of the “Via Podiensis,” one of four pilgrim routes that cross France from Puy-en-Velay to Aubrac.
With nine villages that carry the title “Most Beautiful French Villages,” the Aveyron heads the national honors list. Only 141 rural towns are recognized by the national association as “Most Beautiful French Villages,” created in 1992. The Association has defined a very strict schedule of conditions. Aside from the forty-odd criteria established in the charter, each village must possess two monuments or classified sites.
Vallois recently returned from an excursion to Najac, one of those beautiful villages, and where the annual “Fête de la St Barthélémy à Najac” and “Défilé de la Fouace” took place August 21 – 23. Three days of festival complete with Merry Go-Rounds, attractions, balls all through the night and a lighting of the grand château with fireworks, to boot.
A “fouace” is an ancient traditional cake, the name thought to originate from the Latin “foccacia.” The recipe has been handed down since the 16th or 17th-century, varying in richness with each region, denser than brioche. To make it, with subtle scents of orange flower, requires a “good turn of hand” combined with tightly held trade secrets.
Vallois witnessed a forty-kilo fouace carried in procession through the village as part of the festivities. It was cut up and shared among everyone present, symbolic of their sense of community and belonging. What remains is donated to charities, the aged and homeless.
In the August 14/15 issue of the Financial Times, London, Vallois wrote: “Najac is best known for its château, which adds to the picture-postcard effect that has also earned it ‘plus beau village’ status. Najac also boasts an exciting, heterogeneous community (among them several Brits), headed by France’s veteran mayor, the colourful Hubert Bouysières, who has been in office since 1946 and who plays his saxophone at all festive occasions.”
Vallois is currently writing a complete travel diary about the Averyon and its mysteries, expected to be released in 2005. For more information about the Aveyron, visit http://www.tourisme-aveyron.com/uk/sommaire.php

================================
THE CHATEAU OF NAJAC
Aveyron, France
Taken from http://12.223.136.182/najac/
Reigning atop a tall hill overlooking the village of Najac, the earliest castle was built about 1100 by Bertrand of St. Gilles, brother of Raimond IV, Count of Toulouse, with the square donjon as its strong point. In 1185 the English occupied the castle, but in 1196 Raimond VI of Toulouse married the sister of Richard the Lion-Hearted and the castle returned peacefully into French hands. The castle was greatly enlarged in 1253 by Alphonse of Poitiers, the brother of the French King Louis IX. The five round towers, including the new donjon, were blended into the older castle, and a labyrithine set of apparent and concealed stairways and passageways were constructed to confuse an enemy but allow rapid and strategic deployment of troops. The castle was ‘state of the art’ and could be defended by as little as 30 men.
The new donjon was pierced by meurtrières at all three vaulted levels, with those of the lowest level the longest ever built anywhere. The castle is entered by a guarded ground-level drawbridge. In 1309 the Templars of Larzac were imprisoned in the castle, and in 1572 during the Wars of Religion, the Huguenots seized Najac and plundered it.

THE SELLER HAS REQUIRED DIAGNOSTICS TO PERFORM PRIOR TO SALE OF THE PROPERTY
By Adrian Leeds
When an owner decides to place his property on the market for sale, there are four diagnostics required before the final sale can take place:
1. Amiante: Asbestos
Property licensed for construction prior to July 1997 must produce a diagnostic report evaluating the presence of building materials or products containing asbestos.
2. Plomb: Lead
Property constructed prior to 1948 or situated in an area or zone exposed to lead (as designated by the “préfet” of the department) are required to produce a diagnostic report.
3. Termites: Termites
An inspection of termites is required of a building situated in a zone delineated by the “préfet” of the department three months before the date of the final act of sale.
4. Securité des Piscines: Swimming Pool Security
Since January 1st, 2004, private underground swimming pools non-enclosed and utilized privately or collectively, must be equipped with standardized safety devices aimed at preventing the risks of drowning. The seller must furnish the notaire with a copy of a technical document supplied by the manufacturer or installer attesting to the security. For those pools installed prior to January 2004, the owner must have equipped the pool with a system of safety before January 2006. Pools leased seasonally must be equipped with safety measures since January 2004. Non-compliance of the law is subject to fines of up to 45,000 Euros.

ASK YOURSELF WHY YOU WANT TO BUY IN PARIS
By Schuyler Hoffman
Are you interested in
buying a permanent residence in Paris? Are you looking for a long-term investment, something you can sell in a few years and make a reasonable profit? Do you want to buy an apartment you can stay in for a week or month each year then rent out the rest of the time? Aside from all the aesthetic and romantic reasons one wants to own in Paris, these are the three most common reasons people want to buy here. Making this initial determination will help you decide where to buy and how much you will need to spend.
If a permanent residence is your goal, your options are fairly open. Within any other parameters you may have, you can consider any area of the city you like and any price range or apartment size without seriously considering the immediate return on your investment. That being said, even if you just want a home in Paris, it is still wise to consider the investment value before you buy.
Looking to buy for long-term investment/resale value? It is still possible to find an apartment at a good price that you can sell in a few years and make a profit. Compared to other major cities around the world, real estate in Paris is relatively reasonable. You will want to look in less trendy areas, but areas that are up and coming. Paris is continually working to improve neighborhoods. For example, the 9th and 10th arrondissements are slated for neighborhood improvements over the next few years. Buy an apartment here now and the value of that apartment will likely increase over the next few years.
You may be able to find apartments for sale in these areas at about $150,000. Be aware that these will not be in the center of Paris. Apartments here at that price may need renovation work and will have little short-term rental value, if any, but would probably be rentable on a mid-term or long-term basis. Though buying for this purpose is necessarily a bit speculative, it can also make for a good long-term investment.
The majority of people are interested in buying an apartment in Paris primarily for its short-term rental value. While they want to spend time here their home-away-from-home, they hope to at least cover the mortgage payments, if not make some money as well by renting it out.
Apartments that have short-term rental value are obviously going to be found in more desirable, central areas of town and are going to be more expensive. Bargains are rare. If this is what you’re interested in, expect to look at properties starting at $300,000. One-bedroom apartments rent well, but two-bedroom apartments stay rented even more. They are, of course, a larger investment and more difficult to find.
If you’re serious about purchasing real estate in Paris, the starting point is to think about the goal of making such a purchase — whether for a residence, long-term investment, or short-term rental value. Deciding that will help you determine where you should look and give you an idea of how much you should expect to spend.

BRINGING PETS AND ANIMALS INTO FRANCE
Embassy of France in the US – March 5, 2004
(photo by Walter Pappas)
Due to a change in French law last year, it is now even easier to bring pets and animals into the country, especially pertaining to quarantine. Before, if your pet had not fulfilled the requirements (as below), then it would not have been allowed into the country, period. The new law, as of July 2003, allows the pet in, but quarantines it. As long as you follow the requirements, there is no reason to be concerned. You’ll find them at http://www.info-france-usa.org/intheus/customs/7000.asp (where you’ll also find forms and applications) and below:

WARNING: From July 3, 2004, a blood test to confirm the rabies vaccination anti-body level will be required to import cats and dogs into France. It must be done not less than 3 months before arrival into France and at least 30 days after vaccination. The titration will not have to be carried out again for an animal which has been subject to valid booster vaccinations in accordance to the vaccine manufacturer’s indications.
II. Domestic pet rodents (rabbits, hamsters, mice…)
You may bring into France a maximum of 5 domestic rodents. A health certificate (in French), executed not more than ten days prior to arrival into France by a national licensed veterinarian of the country of export must accompany the rodent.
