Live Q&A: Planning the Perfect Scouting Trip to France

Planning a scouting trip to France? Make it count.

A scouting trip is very different from a holiday.

When you’re considering where to live or looking for a property in France, a few days on the ground can tell you more than months of researching online, but only if you know what you’re looking for.

Join Ben Small, founder of Ibanista, for a free Live Q&A dedicated to planning and organising a successful scouting trip to France.

Whether you’re coming over to explore different areas, view properties or start narrowing down where you’d like to live, Ben will help you think about the trip from the perspective of someone who may actually live there one day.

During this Live Q&A session, we can talk about:

✅ How to plan your viewing trip properly

✅ The professionals you really need on your side

✅ The questions worth asking at every property viewing

✅ Practical checklists, itineraries and French terms

✅ How to evaluate somewhere as a place to live, not just visit

This is a live, interactive Q&A, so bring your plans, your shortlist and your questions.

You might be wondering how many properties you can realistically see in a day, whether you should contact agents before you arrive, how much of France you can cover in one trip, or how to work out whether the town you’ve fallen in love with online is really right for you.

Those are exactly the questions we want you to bring.

Plan the trip that helps you make the right decision.
