Channel 4’s “A Place in the Sun” heads to the charming Charente-Maritime region of France this Thursday, following Karl and Sonia from North Yorkshire as they hunt for their dream home. And it’s not just any dream home – this property will also serve as the venue for their upcoming wedding. Talk about pressure!
With a budget of £160,000 (and a little wiggle room, thankfully), the couple has a specific wish list: three bedrooms to accommodate visiting family, a spacious kitchen for Sonia’s baking passion, a barn for storage and potential projects, and, of course, those picture-perfect French countryside views. Property expert Craig Rowe is tasked with guiding them through the sometimes-tricky French property market, hoping to find a gem that ticks all the boxes.
Finding a property that meets both living and wedding requirements is a tall order, even for a seasoned pro like Craig. Will he manage to pull it off, or will Karl and Sonia have to compromise on their vision? The search for the perfect French escape – and the perfect wedding venue – begins Thursday, March 13th on Channel 4.
