Living France magazine

This is an extract from some editorial in Living France magazine December issue 2008.

"I classify property by where it is , how easy it is to get to and its year round appeal, rather than by the number of bedrooms or en suite bathrooms. At one end of the range are purpose built , ski in ski out, high altitude homes; at the other, there are authentic towns , which are active all year, with French residents and overseas visitors. The former is typically more expensive and will appeal to keen skiers looking for thrills and spills; the latter has a more francophile following".

Man's best friend

Most of the time he is a wicked hound, but sometimes redeems himself.

Max is a cross between a Bruno de Jura and a Beagle as such he is doubly bred for hunting (although I don't hunt animals, just the odd mushroom)

Anyway we had our first ski tour yesterday up to Lac Benit in Mont Saxonnex and it was cold but clear and we got there just at twilight, around 5pm, just in time to to ski down without a head torch.

Quite a few others had the same idea as I met two of my neighbours on their way back down, a couple of boarders who had hiked up with snow shoes and some super fit bugger going like a train. Which is a shame because I am usually the one doing the train impressions; huffing and puffing, not going fast I might add.

Mont Saxonnex opens next weekend but if you have skins it is already open, we'll ski it several times before then.

Is this a sign for the new season?

Well it has stayed cold and snow is forecast down to 700m - 20/30cm apparently and this is what greeted me this morning.

Red sky in the morning etc.

Is it a sign?

Mont Saxonnex - 40 minutes from everywhere

Well from Chamonix, Megeve, Samoens, Flaine, Morzine, Annecy and Geneva. Centre of it all, great views and a jolly nice place. It's an ideal mountain base but above all a friendly Savoyarde village to live in all year round.

It's great if you work in Geneva - or the ski resorts.

Also a great weekend retreat after all - those Swiss can't be wrong.

Weekender or second homer - Ideal location even if you are from further afield, it's really convenient to get to.

Small family ski resort, great ski tour and cross country location.

I've got a farm for sale here as well.

Less than 350,000€ for 170m² habitable plus 140m² in the barn to be converted.

Lovely pizza oven and mazot in the large garden.

Period interiors too.

Call now it'll go quick.
