Lucy Alexander heads to the sun-drenched Poitou-Charentes region of southwest France, tasked with helping Angela and Simon, a couple married for 46 years, find their ideal French farmhouse. With a budget of £225,000, Angela and Simon envision a tranquil retreat where they can indulge in art, yoga, and quality time with their family. But will the French property market deliver the idyllic escape they’ve been dreaming of?
Lucy presents five potential properties, each within their price range. The question is, will any of them capture the hearts of these discerning buyers? The search for a perfect home abroad is rarely straightforward, and this episode of “A Place in the Sun” looks ready to explore the emotional rollercoaster of property hunting in a foreign land.
