What is it like to live in Seine-Maritime?

An endless source of inspiration for the Impressionists, this Normandy department boasts a beautiful coastline, bucolic pastures and rich architecture. We explore all it has to offer.

Star appeal

Some of France’s best-loved towns, villages and cities have provided the setting for some of our favourite French films. We discover what life is like on these real-life movie sets.

We hosted James Martin!

James Martin travelled the length and breadth of France for his French Adventure series. We caught up with the B&B expats who hosted him to find out more.

Style and substance

Elizabeth and David spent three years transforming a ruin in Provence into a treasured family home. We step inside their beautiful countryside retreat and find out how they did it.

Plus we meet an Anglo-Belgian couple who moved to the Ardèche mountains, meet a couple who renovated on a strict budget in Charente and hear all about comedian Ian Moore’s latest plans to open a gîte. There is also expert advice on insurance, child benefits and estate agents’ commission in France and a guide to renovation. We also have a recipe from James Martin for Pork with Vichy carrots…
