One comment about timeshare. There is a reason all the timeshare properties are on the Dutch side, under French law, you have a 30 day cooling off period to change your mind after signing a real estate contract. Timeshare sales require high-pressure sales, fear of loss, no time to really think it over and no ability to bail out if you change your mind (hopefully one of our clients who is a major US timeshare developer will not read this!!!). There is a very good reason that every day I hear a commercial from one company or another who claim to be able to get you out of a timeshare.
