    Well done. I did it 50 years ago with my then young French wife and we have never regretted it. Have a good life. We're still young!

    Well hello near neighbours from just 30 minutes south of you. Loved your video, though I did laugh when you said you were moving for the warmth and sunshine; given that we've had the wettest & most miserable winter and spring in years. But I hope you are enjoying all the little village fêtes that appear as from the beginning of May.

      Soon the big heat folks. In Lyon last summer it was near 40C. Absolutely terrible. I dreamt of the Scottish islands.

      The channel - Darlene in the Dordogne - is the life blog of an Aussie women who retired to SW France with her Aussie husband. It's quite interesting. My parents retired a couple of years ago and left the US for their native Central France (Cantal). They are positively thriving.

      Oh thank you. I am an avid watcher of Darlene’s videos!!!! There are a couple of other Aussies moving to France and making UA-cam videos. Byron to Bordeaux is a great one. Their town house is lovely and La Petite Maison Burgundy.
      If you are from the Us you should definitely watch Our French Chateau with Lincoln and Amanda one of my favourites.
      Of course there Chateau Diaries and Eacape to Rural France 🇫🇷 💙🤍❤️

      Thank you, loving life here! Yes we bought a left hand drive car as it is so much easier to drive when on the French roads. Actually I love driving in France I think the country has some of the best roads in the world and so yes I do find it easy!

      What was unusual for us is that as Jersey residents we were never in the EU and so we had no vote in the uk Brexit move, because the island is totally independent. But because of the strong uk agreements with the island we were still affected.
