IS DOUARNENEZ THE NEW SAINT-TROPEZ? Escape to a French Fishing Port - 4
The fourth of a series of videos about restoring a French townhouse in Douarnenez and improving its energy performance.
"Elle" magazine has published a feature article asking if Douarnenez is the new Saint-Tropez. This has created consternation in the old fishing town, which has a potent history of political dissent,
Meanwhile work continues on my new old house, fitting partitions and providing a new window with a view of the sea.

    Can't tell if you said the Kitesurfers were or were not friendly - we are a friendly bunch, but its super rare to see any boats coming in over the bar at low tide during the more lively conditions so it was likely they were looking warily to see if you were a madman or not!

    Thankyou Mr Barnes. For a wonderful weekend of sailing in a part of the world I can only dream of. Remember effort in cooking even when it's tiresome, is the taste of love and appreciation of a good meal. Look forward to more sailing camping content. As we say in Australia,"Stay salty and afloat" ❤️💡&✌️

    It is hard to define or describe your artistry. As the words of the song spell out, " it's Like trying to tell a stranger about rock and roll. There is an essence which is, as all successful artists, or art, the very best is left up to the interpretation of those who behold it. Their personal experiences adds to the effect which cannot be quantified.

    Terrific work on the house. Many do not understand that materials selection is not simply a choice to do one thing in place of another. What you are doing takes a commitment level which needs constant reinforcement. Your way is different than what “most people” are doing. That difference, is enough to keep them from making the choices that are honorable. I liken it to the choice of a disposable plastic water bottle over a reusable one. PS will come set tile or stone for you if needed in trade for a few days sailing.

    I very much enjoy following your adventures in Brittany Roger. I was in a quandary as the brexit cutoff approached and eventually made the decision to return to the UK (N. Wales) as my children and grandchildren are there and I felt the separation would be difficult, especially considering the 90 day rule and pensions, healthcare etc. I traded down to a much smaller house due to the ridiculous inflated Welsh property market (I’d also sold my sailing boat). I appreciate your stance on the realities of climate change and it’s scientific evidence base. I wish more people would speak out and do what they can to ameliorate the problem/crisis. I feel a smaller manageable sailing boat may be something I’ll need in my life soon. I’ve restored a number of old houses including an cruck built stone cottage in Wales which I used lime-based mortar and render. I also spent some time restoring a stone farmhouse near Landivisiau (Finistère) belonging to a friend

    I'm enjoying your house renovation videos, not least because I'm seriously looking to get a late foothold on the property ladder with pretty meagre savings from my pension. I don't think I'll get much for 8000€ 😬 allowing up to 3000 on top of that for notaire fees...🤔. So I'm following carefully how you've tackled the insulation question, having seen how wet-rot, dry rot can get into the spaces created by plaster-boarding or timber cladding..

    The one thing i'd advise against is adding too many windows as many British expats do, the original sizes and positions of windows were well thought out to minimise heat loss in the winter and keep houses cooler in the summer ! That aside it does give you a nice view.
