Karl and Sonia from North Yorkshire wish to make a permanent move to the Charente-Maritime region of France, which is famous for its breathtaking scenery of rolling hills, vineyards and forests, its cognac and its welcoming microclimate.

Craig Rowe has his work cut out finding everything on their wish list within their budget of £160,000
