A couple from the UK purchased an entire village in France for £26,000, transforming it into a tourist accommodation. They renovated the properties themselves, saving over £120,000. Yip Ward and Paul Mappley initially lived in a caravan before seizing the opportunity to buy the village in Normandy. They documented their renovation journey on YouTube and appeared on a Channel 4 show. With the help of a friend, they managed to restore several buildings, creating a community around their project. They plan to live in the village permanently and maintain its tranquil atmosphere, avoiding commercialization.
