      If you own a property in France the local property rates payable comprises two different taxes, called the taxe d’habitation and the taxe foncière. There is also a waste collection tax.

    We loved this one. We owned a property in Geneslay, Orne for 14 years, then sold it and bought a small town house in Ambrieres Les Vallees, sadly that was sold last year, due to ill health. It was wonderful to see Lassay in your video, bringing back many happy memories of times spent there over the years in both Geneslay and Ambrieres, especially Bastille Day, live music in the beautiful rose gardens, a cooling summer beer at Bar Victor and all the Vide grenier held there. Thank you for reminding us of our happy days in France.
