Lay My Hat

We are a retired couple (65 and 56 yrs old) - we have accepted an offer on our house in the UK and intend moving to France.

We owned a holiday home in SW France which we sold 10 years ago, so France is fairly familiar..

We intend starting our search for a modest (Under €80K) retirement home in one of the villages in Deux-Sèvres. (Due to climate, nice villages and house prices.. though we may consider other areas)

Where would we look for an interim house to rent for 6 months or so - while we are house hunting?

Should we put our belongings in storage in the UK - or will it be possible to find an unfurnished interim house?

It has been suggested that we look on a website called Leboncoin - is that any good?

Any advice gratefully received..

Thanks..

Hi, Would you be interested in a house with another separate holiday rental cottage? Haute Vienne, half an hour north of Limoges.
