Sounds like Chip Reverse Mortgage. We know who wins in the transaction, and it's not your inheritors.

My father bought property in France in the 1980s, a number of friends have bought homes there during the late 90s and 2000s. None of them used this type of purchase. They all bought as straight purchases…..but even that is complex, time consuming and a real red-tape pain in the ass with quite a few hoops to jump through.

You'd be surprised on how reasonably priced many houses are in France when you look 20mins or so outside everywhere, except Paris/Lyon/Bordeaux/Nice. You can find a nice 3-4br, 2-3ba 20-30mins west of Montpellier for 325-400k CDN. If you want something a bit smaller, 2br and 2ba for 250-300k CDN.
My wife and I are thinking about visiting the Montpellier-Pezenas-Biziers-Agde area this March on a factfinding trip to see it if fits the bill for winter retirement.

They might, though I’ve only really seen/heard of this in Italy and Spain, but i imagine there could be spots in France as well.

I've visited the area between Troyes and Dijon along the Ource River in the Champagne region during Summer.
Not as warm as the area you are visiting in the winter, but I very much like the area, and the people.

My wife, who's originally from the Boston area, has a criteria for trying to find a place under 30mins to the ocean/sea.
Too many people complain about the French not being friendly. I couldn't disagree more. Paris is not France, just like NYC is not America.
Everywhere in France, outside Paris, that I've gone the people have bent over backwards in being friendly. Having some basic CDN French helps alot, its an ice breaker many a time.

My dentist hails from the Thionville area of France, south of Arlon in Belgium and Luxembourg in the Ardennes.
She’s the best dentist I’ve ever had - almost - to the point that I don’t dread going to see her, lol.
