Become The Fab Renovator

Taking inspiration from our own journey and through our guidance, you can take the lead on your French historic house renovation project.


Bought an old property to renovate in France?

Is it in a protected area ?

Do you want to restore and keep the original features and be in keeping of its surroundings?

It is fairly easy to imagine a renovation life of an old property in another country like France, but making it happen is another story.

This is why, from my own experience, I endeavour to show you the ropes of the French bureaucracy and share our renovation projects to inspire you and make your dream historical house a reality.


Planning Permission made easy

Old Streets of Limoges by The Fab Renovator

You got a property of historical interest in Metropolitan France that involves contacting les Batiments de France?

I can contact them on your behalf prior to any planning permission application, to make sure that you have all the right information regarding potential works on your property for your planning permission to be more likely to be accepted smoothly.

The Fab Renovator's property to be renovated in France

The Blog

It all began with an urgent miserable personal situation that made us buy a cheap property wherever we could in France while being in the UK… right in the middle of lockdown! After only two virtual visits, we signed and got our house(s) in March 2021.

Our first visit only happened in August 2021 and as the situation changed, so did our goal for the property and here we are, renovating it for a holiday home and a potential short-term rental.
