His policy was complicated and expensive and he advised me to get new cover. Has anyone bought French home insurance before? Are there any English-speaking insurers?

They offer tailored solutions for people with second properties in France too. It was definitely worth asking the experts – they suggested useful cover I wouldn't have thought to request and I've got real peace of mind now! Sounds cheesy but it's true They can also suggest how to organise the cover if you need to cover the building, contents and outdoor area too, for example to cover the swimming pool.

I know that most people rent their homes whilst not there so it could be a good idea to get some extra revenue if you don’t mind people being in your house.
