Bill and Sarah decided to buy a house in France as they needed a bolthole to escape the stress of city living and very busy lives. “We went to France because we always went there on holiday and we could speak the language a bit. We could also afford the houses which are still affordable now. It was an unqualified success but with many ups and downs along the way. This is our humorous and sometimes not so humorous, look at what it is like living in France as a foreigner and what to enjoy and avoid. We look at village life, culture, food and lifestyle. There is a section on the French language, as without some French you are a bit lost in France! France is a wonderful country that seduces you and tugs at your heart strings. Learn from our 12 years of living there for part of the year. Complicated, beguiling, and sometimes frustrating, that’s France!” Table of Contents; Introduction Le Repression. Chapter 1 Why France?
