Clé France

Starting to think about going fishing in France again soon as I am not a true fishing sportsman who likes to brave the winter months, more of a set up the rods, picnic by the river with copious wine, cheese and bread, long nap, wake up and pack up; then call in at the fishmongers on the way home to buy a couple of big trout to present to her ladyship for supper!

There are quite a few properties next to rivers and there is one that is just perfect for trout fishing - JUH00125 is on the market for 179,950 euros FAI.

This brand new 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house is situated next to a river that winds through the lovely village of Grouches-Luchuel in the Picardy region of northern France. The village is near historic fields of battle through the ages and the nearest town of Doullens has the oldest citadel in France due to it's historic location as a frontier town.

Set in a plot of 756 sqm bordered by the river Grouches which is a grade-1 Trout river with 11 authorised positions (two by the house 1 by front garden and 1 by the back - how cool is that for fishing) between the Moulin and the bridge. 

See the attachments on the listing detailing how to join the fishing club and get access to all the lakes and rivers in this part of France.

A little further to travel, from the UK, but Upper Normandy and Lower Normandy offer very good fishing too.

Anybody got any good fishing stories in France?

Hi David, Yes, I met you at a French Property Exhibition and you have been very helpful.

You may remember, my husband works in the Middle East. Well, his employers are finally letting him live in Bahrain and commute, so we will be settled there (I will come home in the summer) for the next few years, hopefully. Then we may be in a position to retire to France.

Thank you once again for all your help.

Regards, Sheila.

We met this charming couple at one of the French Property Shows we were Exhibiting at and although plans can change it is nice to keep in touch and help them in the future if they decide to buy a retirement place in France with Cle France - The French Property Network.

We were extremely impressed with the service both you and David gave us. The support and help you gave throughout was incredible. The details of the house and the huge amount of local information on the website was amazing. La Mascrere was beautifully presented on the site and I am certain that this had a big part in the number of people who expressed an interest in the house.

We were lucky enough to have 2 serious buyers and the house was sold almost immediately. This was even more extraordinary as it was over this winter period and we were not expecting any interest at this time. We think your service was very, very good value.

The fact that you provided an interpreter for the signing at the Notaire's office was the icing on the cake. It made a very sad, for us, occasion very easy.

You answered all our questions with honesty and made the whole process a very smooth transaction. If we were to buy in France again we would not hesitate to use your services again.

Again we would like to thank you for your assistance in what was quite an emotional experience for us, or me in particular,  please feel free to use our recommendation for your services.  

We would also like to say that the interpreter, I'm really sorry but we have lost her card, was lovely, great fun and was so helpful.

If we want to buy again we will definitely call you.

Very best regards to you both and take care,

Jenny & Barry.

Barry & Jenny used our GOLD Level Marketing Package to sell their house with us to great effect. Sell your property in France with Cle France - The French Property Network.

Just wanted to let you know that we have decided to take the house off the market for now and rent it long term.

Anyway, we can relax a bit now, but we wanted to let you know, and to thank you for all your hard work and concern.

You will be our first port of call when we decide to put the house on the market again and of course will pass the word around to any others we know who want to sell their properties.

Mr & Mrs KERTON - decided to rent their property out for a while in the Deux Sevres department of Poitou-Charentes region and put it back on the market in the future.

Dear Sharon,

Thank you for all your help and advice, we would recommend you and David, and Cle France to anyone who was interested in buying in France as you are always so friendly and helpful.

Best Regards, Hilarie.

Hilaire found a property with another agent (it can happen sometimes) but we tried our best and of course all our partners services are still available to clients of Cle France - The French Property Network.
