Thought of your statement today when I was listening to the news on France Info. It seems that some Russian has now purchased the most expensive villa ever on the Côte d'azur... 150 million euros or so. (Now watch - they want to bulldoze it and build something flashier!)
Meanwhile Giscard d'Estaing can't unload his (over)renovated chateau for a measly 3 million euros in the center of France.
Sounds like the Russians may soon overtake the Brits in the hearts and minds of the French.
Cheers,
