Welcome to Pont Noir

The source of information on moving to, and living in, your new property in la Creuse, France including forums on renovation, la Creuse, paperwork, electrics, property and smallholding. This site is all about living in the Creuse, the best of the three departments of the Limousin. Whether you are currently living in department 23, in the process of buying a property here, seriously thinking about a move, or just dreaming of a better life in France then this is the site for you.

I have no real axe to grind. I don't want your money or even your personal details. I have nothing to sell you - really - you can't buy anything here, so relax. The object is to share our experiences of living in France as expats and to exchange information about some of the things we get up to.

I live in the northern Creuse and a pretty rural part of it at that, so the bias of this site is towards a rural, country way of life. It's also Creusois based although many rural areas have the same issues and, of course, many things will be relevant to all of France.

I welcome your comments and suggestions about the content either by email or by posting on the forums.

Speed Cameras in the Creuse
Posted by Dave Thursday, January 19, 2006 (09:50:45)
The French have finally decided that British cops are onto a good thing with speed cameras, and are putting them up all over the place, even in the Creuse. To be fair most of the cameras here are in serious accident black spots with dozens of fatalities and serious injuries happening each year at their locations.

Don't move to France
Posted by Dave Saturday, June 04, 2005 (05:25:34)
Really. Don't move here. France isn't a very nice place to live and is full of hopeless bureaucrats, horrible people, nuclear waste, high taxes and higher unemployment.

Have I gone mad (or just to the tax office again)? Well no ...

Learn French in La Creuse - with the BBC
Posted by Dave Wednesday, May 18, 2005 (03:10:23)
If you haven't discovered it yet, one of the best, free, on-line resources for learning French is the BBC website.

This site is full of useful tips, tests and practices to help all speakers of French improve. They even have a quick online assessment to help you decide on what you need to do. As you'd expect from the BBC the site is very professional and full of interesting audio and video content and is suitable for all ages.
