I have found that the best place to live in France or anywhere else is the place where you feel you belong. I was born near Los Angeles, obtained my post-graduate degrees in San Francisco and lived in NYC for six years. Now I am at home in the Languedoc-Roussillon minutes from several Mediterranean beaches, less than an hour from Spain and surrounded by nature. In my book, I have everything I could wish for. By the way, I fell hard for a small village (population: 700). I couldn't be happier. Know what you are really looking for and keep an open mind. Viva la Belle France 🇫🇷. ❤

N'1: the prononciation of RENNES is "RENN" (not "Renée").<br>Liked the video. 👍

The reason the Dordogne is popular with British retirees (according to someone I know who lives there) is that it “looks like a larger and less populated version of the Cotswolds (ie classic English countryside), but the houses are less than half the price, the food and weather are better and the wine is cheap - very possibly the middle class English definition of heaven!”

Thinking of living in a country and not planing to learning the language of the country, how absurd is that.. 😂

et il y a également ces centaines de villes de moins de 20000 habitants qui ont tout le confort, la tranquilité et le style de vie à la française (marchés, restaurants, jardins, maisons typiques, etc). Votre reportage est très pragmatique et bien structuré, bravo !

I’ve travelled extensively, lived and studied in France, and my favorite is Dordogne.

I don't understand Anglos who move into another country and refuse to learn its language. That's a sure way to not making friends and being alone

Biarritz has one of the highest real estate prices in all of France, more than most areas of Paris. Around 8000 euros per square meter!

I spent 2-3 months a year in Lyon for several years and could easily see myself living there. There is so much to see and do, and it's convenient to travel via train or air to other locations. As a Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef, the focus on food is a huge plus for me! Montpellier was lovely but a bit too small for my taste. However, I still want to visit Nice because living on the coast is my retirement dream location. Also, I've heard a lot about Annecy and wondered why that city didn't make your list?
