When I lived in England, once a month friends and I would head to the coast and pick up the ferry or hovercraft to France for long weekends away; Calais, St Omer, Rouen, Dunkirk, Boulogne or Le Touquet with its mile long white sandy beach and beyond. On other occasions, we would fly to Paris or Cannes in the South of France for a well earned week long break. We made lots of friends over the years and my dream has been to own a home there one day.
I love the rolling hills peppered with beautiful lush trees
the stunning centuries old houses
wonderful markets selling fresh local produce
watching the world go by with friends over a cup of coffee
Dining al fresco at one of many first class chateaux
I have loved and enjoyed each and every place I've visited in this wonderful country so for those of you who are already living the dream, how do you choose a location?
Just below is a little box where I would be thrilled to receive your comments and/or advice.
Merci beaucoup!

I loved beautiful Eze and the journey there from Nice. It's the only destination I have been to a number of times – I usually only visit a place once, but make an exception for the South of France.
ReplyDeleteI've been to Nice many times and Monaco but never to Eze which I know is breathtaking... Bobby and I shall venture there as soon as we are able! Wont be able to buy property there though... C'est la vie...
ReplyDeleteHi jo!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to spend a season in the English countryside and make forays just as you describe. It would be so hard to choose a place to live abroad on a permanent basis. I love too many places! Thanks so much for letting me know you came by!
Hi Jacqueline
ReplyDeleteI thought it would be easy to decide on somewhere permanent but it's proving difficult. I love all the place I've visited but only a few speak to me... Watch this space!
I take a peek at your blog regularly but don't always leave a comment... sorry, will do better. Many thanks for stopping by.
