By all accounts, they are rather rare


Ho yes. Les dents de poule. Which reminds me, how's your french garden
doing Andy?!


It doesn't exist

In the end, we couldn't get them to sign to sell - having wasted loads
of money on flights, surveys, hire cars etc. Turns out that it had been
inherited by six daughters. One of them refused to sell it despite
being visited by everyone involved (except me) - even the agent and the
solicitor. I was a bit ****ed off because we'd spent several weeks
haggling over the price (actually, we matched the asking price but they
kept coming back with requests for more.) After we agreed a price, they
couldn't get it signed.

I believe that there was a way to get it done - but we just took it as a
sign that it wasn't for us at the time. Another time maybe... although
we're extending our uk house instead, so it'll be a long wait
