  • One of the largest European countries, France is an incredibly diverse destination with a mind-blowing wealth of experiences and an inviting lifestyle on offer. It has always been a firm favorite among the expat crowd seeking to make the big move overseas. And while there are many things to consider before moving to France, deciding where to live may be the hardest decision of all. When most people think of France, they immediately think of Paris, but that’s not the only city that should be on international citizens’ radars. There are still many towns and cities where day-to-day costs are less of a drain on the pocketbook, while still offering the best that living in France has to offer.
    So here are Some of the Best places to live or retire in France.

    I absolutely agree with the number one. Tolosa/Toulouse, the occitan city, is a laid out place, nice, with a good climate and friendly people, and stunning sorroundings (Carcasonne, Albi, ...)

      Really ? I lived 4 years in Lille and I found it very gloomy and depressing. Winters are grey and so long, there is no nature around, the architecture is sad... I left for the sunny south of France and the quality of life is sooo much better here.

    Just one comment: The French language is radically different than Spanish or Italian in pronunciation and one good example of that is the the "au" sound usually pronounced "ao" in Spanish and Italian is instead pronounced simply as an "o" in french, same thing for the "eau" too actually. So, this means that Pau is pronounced like "Po" not "Pao", anyway, great video, thanks!

    Sounds like a pro-France tourism spiel. Just returned from three weeks in France to include two weeks on motorcycle riding through the French Alps. Spent two weeks there in 2018 as well. Have a niece who studied Engineering in Lyon. She has no desire to live there. Uncontrolled immigration has resulted in high crime, food is extremely expensive and over rated. If you don’t speak French, don’t expect to find it easy to communicate.

Europe has dramatically changed through since first living in West German 1980-1983 and again 1989-1993. I have lived, worked and traveled in over 60 countries and all our States.
