Presentations for Paris Poets, Painters and Property Purchasers… Calendar #69 Wednesday, August 10, 2005 Paris, France ====================
Adrian Leeds knows good food…and she knows good value! Discover both in the Insider Paris Guide for Good Value Restaurants. Get the inside scoop on the best-kept restaurant secrets in Paris. These are the charming places where Parisians dine — you’ll eat like the locals do, away from the tourist spots. Yes, you can have a great three-course meal with wine and coffee in Paris for between $15 and $40 including tax and tip. Updated regularly, this guide contains over 200 of Adrian’s top restaurant picks. And you can download it now — no trip to the bookstore…no shipping costs…no waiting for delivery! ==================== Dear Parler Paris Reader, You didn’t hear from me yesterday because from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., I, along with all of our staff were participating in the Invest in France Seminar held at Chez Jenny near Place de la République. The intensive day of presentations followed by Q’s and A’s from a long list of professionals that came from Europe and the U.S. was punctuated by a sumptuous three course lunch with Kir, wine and coffee and a closing cocktail. The subjects dealt with were centered around the purchase of property in France as in investment and included all legal aspects of purchasing property in France, how to find your dream home, what you need to know about Paris apartments and renovating French property, how to get a mortgage, how to reduce your currency exchange risk, how to minimize your tax liability and even where the best off-shore banking can be done. Anyone thinking of purchasing property in France would benefit from the overview a seminar of this kind provides, to warn of the pitfalls and plan for a successful venture. One attendee wrote “This seminar was very well planned and executed. Even if the presentations run long, this indicates a high level of interest. I feel so much better informed. Thanks!”
And if you miss both of those, you can plan on attending the Invest in France Seminar here in Paris December 28th! For more information on any or all three of the events, until we have our Web site up with more complete information, contact Schuyler Hoffman, Conference Coordinator, at [email protected] to be put on a special mailing list to be notified when the details are in place (very, very soon!). A la prochaine…
