‎Château de Borneau


 From My Journal:

Erin and Jean quickly realized that they could afford a much better lifestyle for themselves in France, and had considered purchasing a property they could renovate together. It became clear that this might be the perfect new opportunity for them. The couple both shared a unique interest and appreciation for historic buildings, and soon began looking into purchasing a heritage home that they could invest in, likely one that would need a bit of extra work. They figured that they could let out part of their property to holiday-goers as a way of making extra income. Erin still feared that her French wouldn’t improve enough to land a job.

They soon realized that with the right property, they could turn their new house into full-time employment for both of them!

The property was absolutely breath-taking, and they described their first visit as a coup de foudre - love at first sight. The stunning estate was nestled in Vendée, Pays de Loire, a region in western France. On the edge of a forest near the small village of Bourneau, the building looked like something out of a fairytale. The couple knew that they had found their new home within the grounds of the Château de Bourneau. (Read more.)
