Back in the spring, we made an offer on a ... well, house is a rather big word for it, given its condition... in Normandy, with the idea that after renovations Frédéric's mother could live there if she needed somewhere to go. At this point she's less than lukewarm about the idea, but we finally closed at the end of September, and can start renovations. If she's not interested after renovations, I guess we have a vacation house.
Did I also mention - this is the first time I've seen the house in person. We put an offer on it, got estimates for renovations, got our financing in order, and closed, all without my having ever seen it other than in photos.
The house is located 20 minutes from beaches, 50 minutes from D-Day beaches, and an hour and ten minutes from Mont St Michel, and five minutes from Frédéric's sister and her family, and from their mother.
