We have a NEW Mortgage and Financial Services Partner and they are live on the Cle France website, if you are considering a mortgage to help fund a property purchase in France, you may wish to contact them to see if they can help and advise you, best of luck.

You can contact them direct here.

Our New Partner is ideal for those of you who live in the UK and already own a property within the UK, dealing with the team at 'HERTS Financial Services' may be a much more attractive option than a French mortgage.

The Implications of the French Presidential Election in the EU

For lovers of France and all things French, you will know there was a recent Presidential election, if you want to learn more tune in to this online debate later today.

Emmanuel Macron has won the French Presidential Election, making him the first French President to serve two terms since Jacques Chirac. Despite having beaten Marine Le Pen in the second round, the latter’s support has increased by nearly 10% and low turnout continues to plague the French electoral system.

The Trans European Policy Studies Association (TEPSA) is organising the online debate: “The Implications of the French Presidential Election in the EU” on Tuesday 3 May 16:30-18:00 GMT.

TEPSA will gather five key experts to discuss the outcomes of the French Presidential Election on Europe and the wider world.

Hope you enjoy what promises to be an interesting debate.

France has Re-Opened for Travel

As of today (January 14th 2022), fully vaccinated people travelling from the UK to France will no longer need an essential reason for travel and no longer have to quarantine on arrival.

You will still, however, be required to present the negative result of a Covid test [PCR or lateral flow] taken in the 24 hours before your journey begins.

It should also be noted that from Saturday all adults, residents and visitors, will need to have had a booster Covid jab to be considered 'fully vaccinated' under French health pass rules for leisure and attending events within France, if their second jab was more than seven months ago (the NHS Covid App is acceptable in France for 'health pass' purposes).

Boosters are not however a requirement for entry to the country, though this could change later in the year.

Viewing appointments are now being snapped up quickly so get in touch and secure your viewing trip appointments as soon as possible.
