I haven't been around much, but I read the reviews of the "bed and breakfast". From the sounds of it, it's the typical "UK residence chucks everything to move to France and opens Bed and Breakfast while trying to transform the property into something suitable at the same time". This is not an uncommon occurrence in France...
ROFL, and you would know, wouldn't you? I've been wondering what your take is, on all this.
I read David Sedaris'
Me Talk Pretty One Day (a less-dark book than his last one, but he's always worth a read). And I wonder what that the gay English attraction to things French is. Are the French less homophobic, or just gayer? (IMG:

In France, you don't really mind what anybody does, as long as it involves people who are of age (over 15). The whole "England moves to France" thing started mainly through a bunch of TV programs telling unemployed Brits that the grass was greener on the other side of the Channel. Lots of people fell for it and then the pound crashed against the euro. Most of them are having to move back because their money isn't going as far as it used to.
The idea that they're trying to do this in Béziers, which isn't exactly a "jetset" destination, says more about these people than anything else...
