You can google: places to retire in Europe

Answer 3

Hi,

Try this website which applies all over France, but as there are many English speaking people in the south, it has a lot of relevance: http://the-languedoc-page.com/expat/expa...

Alternatively, if you can read French, try the local paper, which is good for buying and selling: http://www.midilibre.com/accueilml.html

Have a good move :-)

Answer 4

www.totalfrance.com

Good forum with tons of info + lots of other relevant stuff.

Answer 5

A lot of the web sites tend to be very local - contact the local tourist information offices for the areas you are interested in and ask them - they are a mine of information. The cities you mention are all relatively expensive property wise, bear in mind the strong regional winds in the South of France such as the Mistral and La Tromante. We moved in March last year and finally found a house to buy in July. One thing that can help a lot is to get The Connexion newspaper or / and The French News, both english language for lovers of France. Loads of useful hints and tips in both

Answer 6

I find that books are much better, more informative. I think Rough Guide is the best
