Living in France has so many benefits: the laidback lifestyle, the space, the beauty of the countryside, the rivers, the fantastic food and wine – the list goes on! It’s no wonder that France remains one of the most popular countries in Europe for Brits to travel to, buy a home in and generally consider as our closest neighbour.
Did you know – every year, a list of the most beautiful villages in France is released? If you are looking to move to rural France, this should prove to be very handy!
A property viewing trip to France is an exciting moment in your home hunt, but how do you get the best out of your time? What do you need to think about and how do you plan it? We share our top tips for a stress-free trip.
France is proud of a recorded history that goes right back to cave paintings from over 30,000 years ago, and continues through wars, revolutions and more peaceful innovations and cultural events to memories still shared by British, Americans and many others today.
If you are looking to settle into your local community in France quickly and easily, one of the most rewarding ways is by volunteering. Whatever your interests or skills, there will be a volunteering opportunity to suit you. Plus, you’ll be making a difference at the same time, says our resident Brit in France, Beth.
