As it turns out, a very small percentage of first time home buyers in France are foreigners. La Maison Bleu is my personal account of the year I spent acquiring a house in Normandy France. I am an American expat living in Il de France and I decided that I wanted to have a little country house in Normandy in which to retire and grew a kitchen garden. Of course, very few things went as expected. You can find the book at this link on Amazon: La Maison Bleu: The Year I spent trying to buy a French country house in Normandy, France: Lewis, Marion T.D.: 9798754131682: Amazon.com: Books .
