schwa | 14 years ago | on: Consider buying a scenic French village and make into a startup/hacker haven?
I've been to that part of France often (my mother lived about an hour outside of Limoges). It's very beautiful. Long straight tree lined roads, sleepy little villages, fields full of sunflowers. Limoges is a good sized town with a small airport (LIG) with flights to the UK and other locations several times a day.
As for a startup haven? Stranger things have happened.
