Gobbling Down Beaujolais in Burgundy
| A view of Beaujolais Wine Country in Burgundy |

Bonjour French Property Insider Subscriber,
There's a lot more to digest this week than just turkey!
Next week we're taking break for Thanksgiving and in today's issue is a recipe for the best turkey you ever ate...as long as it's a French 'babe!' Then move on down for Part VIII of "Viager with a View" -- the saga that never ends and gets more complex with every day.
Our Fractional Ownership property in the Place des Vosges, "Le Palace des Vosges," has new photos and a new video now that it's (almost 100%) complete and some of the owners have been enjoying it...but more important than that is a special offering that will save new shareholders lots of money. Make a purchase before the end of the year or book your vacation stay, and earn a serious discount off a share. Scroll down to learn more.
Tonight is the release of Beaujolais Nouveau, so get ready to uncork the newest bottles and raise a toast to Burgundy. In honor of the young red wine, we're setting our sights on Hot Properties in this beautiful wine region where life can be absolutely idyllic.
There's news about nightlife in Paris -- a new site devoted to just this subject, but watch out property owners -- nightlife may be 'death' to your investment. Read all about it in today's FPI and then we'll see you two weeks from today after the American holiday we all love most of all!
A bientôt,
Adrian Leeds
Editor,

Talking
Turkey
By Adrian Leeds
This
weekend I'll be ordering up a turkey from my local butcher for
Thanksgiving next week. Every year I'm here, I'm sure to bake
up a 'babe' -- a French gobble-gobble that must be special ordered
from a butcher. Years ago I learned the secret recipe from the
one and only Lillian Zacky, of California-based Zacky Farms, who
had her manicure just after mine every Friday for seven years
while living in Los Angeles. Of course, imagine my disappointment
to learn (just a few minutes ago) that it wasn't much of a 'secret'
anymore -- now that it's on their Web site (http://www.zacky.com/recipes.htm),
but I can tell you this -- it's the best turkey you ever ate.
Don't tell Lillian, however, that the French turkeys are by far superior to their American counterparts! They are darker, juicier and cook in half the time! If you don't believe me, cook one for yourself.
Editor's Note: There will be no French Property Insider issue on Thanksgiving Day...so take time for yourself, your family and friends and have a wonderful holiday!
Viager
with a View Part VIII
By Adrian Leeds
Excerpted
from Parler Paris Nouvellettre®
http://www.adrianleeds.com/parlerparis
Monday, November 16, 2009
The
continuing saga of "Viager with a View" is beginning
to feel like an endless stream of hurdles and challenges as long
as the history of France and her struggle for "Liberté,
Egalité, Fraternité." When I first laid eyes
on this jewel of an apartment more than four years ago, I had
no idea it would become one of life's greatest challenges -- a
test for tenacity and endurance.
If you'd like to read Parts I through VII to catch you up to speed on the story that has twisted and turned like a tangled ball of yarn, visit http://www.adrianleeds.com/parlerparis/viager/. For now, you can catch up to the latest developments.
In Part VII, the contractor had almost completed the demolition of "Le Saint-Tropez," discovering much hidden attributes, including two additional skylights having been covered over. A covered-over rounded window onto the terrace was discovered and subsequently opened which will be a kind of "portal" onto the sky from the bathtub/shower. There are three chimneys in the one small space, but unfortunately, none will be used for a working fireplace as every inch of available space in the 22-23 square meters is needed for storage and elbow room.
In the "chambre de bonne" down the hall affectionately named "La Brigitte," old beams were found under the ceiling and cleaned off in preparation for refurbishment. The demolition was complete and the plumber laid the piping in both apartments. The apartment was now ready for the "chappe" (floor foundation) to be poured. This is when it all went awry.
Monsieur de L., the "Syndic" delivered a copy of a letter he had written to the Notaire in my mailbox, outlining how in February of 2006, the "copropriété" had voted to 'give' the illegal terraces to the owners of their adjoining apartments, and therefore the terrace that I had always believed was not legally mine, was in fact just that -- mine! This was the first time that he had enlightened us on this issue, so that the deed to the apartment is now incorrectly written and of course, it means that all expenses related to the terrace will be my responsibility.
This
was GOOD news to say the least, but of course, it means that an
adjustment to the deed is in order, which is likely going to cost
something in taxes and fees, as nothing of this nature is 'free'
in the eyes of the French government!
Meanwhile, our contractor was sinking in financial problems and announced he was about to file for bankruptcy. I had already given him 30% advance payment for the work (more than enough to cover quite a lot of construction work), but to lay the chappe, he needed more money to pay for materials and labor. The money I had given him was gone -- to where or what I may never know. This was one day before leaving for 10 days in Egypt, so I declined his request, left for vacation and hoped for the best...

"It's
Beaujolais Nouveau Time!"
By Adrian Leeds
For
those of you who love "le vin rouge," don't forget that
today is Beaujolais Nouveau time! By French law, Beaujolais Nouveau
is released on the third Thursday of November all over the world.
Because of excellent growing conditions, this year could be the
best vintage in 50 years (or so Georges Duboeuf says). It's made
from Gamay grapes produced in the Beaujolais region of France
(duh!) and Georges Duboeuf (among others, but most notably) saw
the potential for marketing a rather ordinary wine within weeks
of harvest. Yes, I hate to burst your bubble, but "Beaujolais
Day" is basically a media event par excellence.
The slogan, “Le Beaujolais nouveau est arrivé!” ("The new Beaujolais has arrived!," was changed to "It's Beaujolais Nouveau Time!" and in the United States, it is promoted as a drink for Thanksgiving, which, of course, falls one week later. Duboeuf remains the biggest producer of Beaujolais Nouveau (duh!) and even if the wine isn't France's best product, everyone seems to have fun celebrating its release.
My
favorite spot to celebrate is the "Bistrot Mélac,"
in the 11th arrondissement at 42, rue Léon Frot. The owner,
Jacques Mélac, with his enormous handlebar moustache, is
a sort of "Cyrano de Bergerac" from the town of Bozouls
in the Aveyron. Well prepared Aveyronnais dishes accompany his
excellent selection of wines and nothing compares to Jacques'
jovial atmosphere he's most proud of...but be prepared during
Beaujolais Nouveau to barely get a taste of his best local fare
nor find barely a space in the SRO atmosphere of this multi-dining-roomed
corner in working-class Paris.

Discover the Region of Burgundy and the Burgundy Canal
Compiled by Schuyler Hoffman
Burgundy
is one of the most fascinating regions of France, often
labeled as the Land of fine art and living, local life
has a slow pace. The physical boundaries of La Bourgogne
begin to the south east of Paris and to the north of Lyon.
It is divided into four departments, the Yonne, the Côte
d'Or, the Saône et Loire and the Nievre.
One of the most important changes for Burgundy was the construction of the Burgundy Canal (Le Canal de Bourgogne). It completely changed the social evolution for hundreds of small villages and hamlets. The canal is a masterpiece of pre-industrial revolution technology, spanning more than 250 kilometers in length and two centuries of construction.
The canal struggles to span across the region, slowly winding in smooth curves along the plains, or rising steeply with a concentration of locks which appear like staircases, before reaching the summit at Pouilly en Auxois. For almost two hundred years the waters of this man made canal have carried the weight of wooden or steel hulled barges.
The construction of the canal also changed the destiny of Burgundy, raising its status from a rural farming area to a that of a great state with navigable waterways connecting the north of Europe to the Mediterranean sea. Today the canal retains a small float of cargo carrying vessels, but it's purpose has temporarily changed in offering voyages for people on barges which have converted into luxury hotels.
Wines
which were introduced by the Romans as they progressed
northwards along the Rhone valley; and then mastered by
the monks at Nuits Saint George, creating famous names
like Volany, Pommard, Gevery and Aloxe Corton which are
now know throughout the world.
The vineyards spread for miles across the sloping south facing hills, with many producers still using the traditional methods, oak barrels and years of aging in the coolness of vaulted cellars to give us some of the best know Crus.

French Spirits...An American Renovates a House in France
A book by Jeffrey Greene
A
House, A Village and a Love Affair in Burgundy...An American
renovates a house in France! But what's new here is that the
house is in the Burgundy town of Rogny. The region of La Puisaye,
with its swamps and murky woods, lacks the immediate attraction
of Provence or Normandy.
The American builder is celebrated poet Greene and his companion, Mary, a renowned scientist currently at the University of Paris. After finding nothing fit for their taste or budget in better-known Burgundian towns, the author's real estate agent leads them to remote Rogny.
Reconstruction efforts center on the town's presbytery, abandoned by the church and its previous owner and ripe for restoration. Friends of the last priest to occupy the grounds and town tradesmen make up the cast of characters, whom Greene makes into neither caricatures nor odd rustics. As always, reconstruction absorbs more time and money than the author had anticipated.
The property takes on sentimental significance when Greene and his companion decide to get married there and their families descend on the little town. So attractive the place becomes that Greene's mother emigrates from America.

City
Hall Promotes City Nightlife
By Adrian Leeds
Wednesday
morning I shamefully missed an important press conference at the
Hôtel de Ville sponsored by the City Hall of Paris in launching
their new official Web site to promote nightlife in the City of
Light: http://www.parisnightlife.fr.
It's in both French and English, has an interactive map and an
easy search function. Be sure to bookmark the page to keep up
with what's going on in the "City of Nightlight" and
do start to take more advantage of all the offerings while the
sun is down.
For those of you interested in owning a rental apartment, keep in mind that guests do not look kindly on noise which may keep them awake! So, avoid purchasing property on noisy streets, but most off all, stay away from all that 'nightlife' the city is promoting! A lively bar can be death to a rental property.
Paris:
City of Lights or Lights Out?
By Elizabeth Pineau
PARIS
(Reuters Life!) - Paris, whose wild nightlife drew generations
of party goers from Ernest Hemingway to Jim Morrison, is now
more notorious for curfews than carousing.
Dismayed nightcrawlers say swelling red tape, nightclub closures, gentrification and po-faced disapproval are increasingly thwarting their attempts to have a good time.
"'Smoke over there, put your glass down here'. We get told off all the time. In short, it's the opposite of what we want when we go out at night," said Marthe Lazarus, a local artist.
At a recent press conference, nightclub, bar and restaurant owners expressed distress over the number of canceled concerts, buckets of water poured over smokers and epithets hurled at anyone who attempted to dance in a bar...
La Loco, a historic disco close to cabaret theater Moulin Rouge, is turning into a restaurant. Le Batofar, an electronic music hotspot on a barge, and Paris-Paris, another club, have all been shut down due to noise disturbance.
Several bars have also lost the right to open late and are now forced to shut their doors at 2 a.m. rather than 5 a.m.. One bar on the bustling Rue Montorgueil was shut down for eight days after closing at 2:20 a.m. rather than 2:00 a.m.
An explosion in property prices has also transformed areas formerly synonymous with fun such as Pigalle and Bastille.
On top of that, countless complaints have been made by residents irked by private parties or smokers forced by a smoking ban to light up outside clubs and restaurants...

Editor's Note: There are numerous things to think about when looking to purchase a particular property in Paris. One of them is nearby nightlife. It is always a good idea to visit the neighborhood at night to get a sense of what it's like around the apartment you're interested in.

Luxury
Real Estate Trade Fair Loves Paris in the Autumn
Compiled by Schuyler Hoffman
Not
everyone can afford a private island or a fancy penthouse on New
York’s Upper East Side. Still, for those who can, an invitation
to the Luxury Real Estate Trade Fair will be just the thing to
make the autumn seem brighter. And where better to promote high-end
property than Paris, the world capital of chic? This elegant ambience
will be further enhanced by the venue, Paris’s famous Musée
du Louvre.
On the 27th, 28th and 29th of November 2009 Prestige-Paris will celebrate its third birthday with the assistance of France Convention, a specialist in niche and luxury trade fairs. This year’s gathering will be required both to meet the visitors’ very demanding expectations and outdo last year’s exceptionally successful event.
The recent recession has failed to affect the luxury sector as much as the rest of the economy, in fact the latest figures have revealed that the Parisian real estate market has improved. It seems that the most beautiful and luxurious homes never fail to find a buyer, a thought that will encourage participants in this most prestigious property exhibition.
Take the Risk Out of Currency Conversion
If
you’re buying a holiday home or investment property overseas,
when you trade your currency is crucial. The euro exchange rate
is constantly fluctuating, so trading at the right time will mean
your money goes a lot further. Adrian Leeds Group LLC
and Moneycorp are working together to ensure
you make the most of your Dollar or Sterling when buying a property
in France.
