After retreating three years ago to heal my wounds from a grievous mauling, I am again entering the jousts and offering homes for sale in our part of Languedoc.

Working with an honorable man through the long established estate-agency Coast and Country in Mougins, we are rebuilding our website SouthernFrance.com to give information and services for property buyers, sellers and renters in Languedoc.

My modest stillness and humility will now be augmented – so come one come all to France – I am here ready.

Hi Tony-

Hope you and Carole are doing well.

Last time we were in Vias we spent some time researching our options for Internet access in the house.

Just last night we were told by a friend who has homes in Paris and Provence that we would interest more renters if we did have wifi in the house. I know that we, personally, would certainly choose a rental that had Internet access above one that did not, but I am not convinced that people who choose our little village for a holiday would have the same priority. In all the years we’ve been renting we have only had one specific request about accessing internet.

Do you think that there is enough of a demand for Internet access that it would be worth our time and expense to obtain it for our place?

Thanks and fond regards from both of us-

Anne

Hi Anne

I do believe that it will get you more bookings – you do not know who does not enquire because you do not say you have wifi.

My experience is that every single person we had at our own place as renters wanted Internet access – we advertised we had it and we know we had renters because of this. It will cost you about 35 euro a month and you can then have totally free phone calls world wide and offer this as well.

Hope this helps

Thanks so much for your response – sounds like we have a good reason to make another trip to Vias!
We’ve had recommendations for Orange, Neuf, and more, and most recently, Dartybox.
Do you have a preference? Vias is still behind the times – we can only get internet and phone, no tv yet included in the packages available to us.
Thanks again-

Anne

Hi Anne

We use both Neuf and Orange – both seem OK – only the big cities get TV at present, not us hillbillys

See you soon
