Some quotes from past polls: |
"The French know who they are, what drives them and what annoys them. They are bon viveurs and proud to be so.”

"I found property buying to be reasonably easy. Certain estate agents didn't listen to my brief but I was lucky to find one that did and I found my lovely home in two weeks of searching". |
