WHY DO you love your French home? We have a new feature that started this month on our property pages for readers to tell us what is special about their house: whether it is pretty, has a beautiful view, has traditional features or is just a place that feels cosy and welcoming...
Tell us why you love your French home and we will print the best responses – with the chosen reader each month winning a free year’s subscription to The Connexion, or an extension if already a subscriber.
Our first winner is Marina Smit, who appears in the May issue, printed yesterday, telling of her home in Finistère.
If your home is something special, tell us why in around 250 words and send it with a high-resolution photo and a daytime phone number to news[at]connexionfrance.com with the subject line My Home.
