Life in Rural France

The Pros and Cons of Living in France


Listen Later

Wondering whether moving to rural France is for you and what some of the pitfalls might be? Well as someone who did just that and left a busy life in the UK in exchange for a life in the country, I'm sharing some of the pros and cons of living the French dream.

Most people imagine spending their days drinking great wine, eating amazing cheese and buying fresh croissants every day.

Now, whilst there are probably some people who do live their lives that way, for the majority of us, the reality is a little different.

Real life is never quite the same as being on holiday, and it certainly takes some adjustment, but the big question is, was it worth it? 

  • What is life really like moving to rural France?
  • Navigating the local market and shopping in France
  • Negotiating WiFi, deliveries and public transport
  • Socialising with the local community and finding your feet
