Other useful contacts (for travellers and artists)

We have found that it is often better to break the plane flight to Europe with a stop of a few days in Asia or North America. Star Alliance has a special fare for little more than the usual discount economy fare which allows access to more than just Singapore or Bangkok, and includes Hong Kong and Japan. Other carriers also offer stops via certain other places which can add to the interest of your trip to the cottage in France. If you fly into Frankfurt or Munich with Star Alliance a trip to Toulouse is included in the fare and you do not have the hassle of changing airports. Within Europe there are plenty of countries to visit beyond France and Italy, while they may not be so rich in treasures of the past, none the less can provide unexpected interest. A round-the-world ticket can give you amazing access.

Landscape architecture and garden design in Australia and New Zealand by Botanical Traditions, Melbourne.

Cooking classes in the Lot, France with a starred chef.

Personal French conversation classes can be arranged at the cottage for anyone wanting to push their language skills on. these are delivered by a native speaking French teacher. Cost between 30 and 40 Euros per 2 hours depending on the number of people. (For longer periods, cost to negotiate).

From Bangkok you can easily take a short trip to World Heritage listed Lijiang (and Baisha) in Yunnan, China

If you stop in Kyoto, Japan for example, you can find reasonable accommodation once you arrive by going to the Tourist Bureau who can book you (in English) a local ryokan at a reasonable price.

Stop in HongKong for some shopping.

Fabulous food and handcrafts in Hungary.

If you are interested in buying real estate in the Lot, France while you are staying at the gite, there is a very good real estate agent (where English is spoken), or immobilier as it is known in France, in the village. They are most helpful and cover quite a wide area.

For those of you who are artists, hand made easels are available internationally, from Jeff Lacey, in a choice of many beautiful Australian woods.

For those of you trying to make an environmental difference in and around your property, perhaps with grey water systems, solar hot water system and rain water tanks, there are current technologies that you can use right now, to assist in the dryest inhabited continent on earth.

If you are interested in buying our cottage for sale in SW France as a going concern or simply as a French residential cottage purchase please contact us. We have had over 10 years in France now, but are getting older and reluctantly would like to sell maybe towards the end of 2010-11 but negotiable. Advice and assistance to Australians wanting to buy in SW France is available.
