Alexis loved visiting France as a child and always dreamed of living there one day. Fortunately she met a man who had the same dream! So they married, then bought a beautiful 300-year-old character house in a pretty village in the Languedoc Roussillon. Alexis has been writing about France for a decade, inspiring and helping hundreds of British people to move there. She says: "Our only regret is that we did not move to France earlier!

The basic idea is not new: many countries are using the initiative to attract new residents who may be struggling to find homes. It offers them a very reasonable rent while the commune is still in control of the land.
