Summary
We have the empress of Paris real estate - Adrian Leeds - in the studio today talking about property in Paris. You might recognize her from the hit TV show House Hunters International.
She suggests good places in Paris to buy an apartment, she discusses the difficulties of buying a place as a foreigner, and how it might not be as tricky as you think to start a new life in Paris.
If you want to buy a place with her, check her site out here.
If you want tickets to my show with Adrian on Wednesday April 18th, get in touch now to reserve places.
See you next Monday!
