Things the French do well…

ZPENS status protects land including island from development. France is the world’s No 1 tourist attraction, ZPENS are one of the reasons. If the owner wishes to sell for example an island in the Gironde estuary  island then the Department has a pre-emptive right. After two months the Conservatoire National du Littoral has the next pre-emptive right and then after another 2 months the town of Blaye has a final pre-emptive right to acquire the island. My project ‘Picturesque Wine Village of Bordeaux‘ progresses, slowly at present but it progresses. More about it very soon!
