We are a couple from New Zealand that have recently bought a house in the South West of France, between Bordeaux and Toulouse. We travel to buy antiques for our business in New Zealand and stay in the house for 3 months a year to store the furniture and work on the house to get it to a standard to rent out at some stage.
