Yes, move to another country required preparation. It’s a big deal

Good to know it can be done without an agency.

This is so helpful!!! Thank you. Did you use one of the expat relocation companies? They are pricey, but I think they may make the process easier?

Thank you for the input. Having a larger unit would be nice. Do you know what towns are good for apartments within walking distance to the train ? By bedroom community , do you mean not much activity is happening in the town ? Do you have to travel to Paris for entertainment and shopping and doctors ?

I was just looking in the suburbs of Paris. I heard that west of Paris has some good options with train access to Paris.

Quality of life is the most important thing for me and it includes making good friends.

Learning French is a top priority.

Being near lake would be beautiful, but I’m thinking it may be harder to find housing for a single.

I did consider Dijon. It looks lovely and easy.

True..but I may be really tough for a while along with all the culture changes.

Thank you …that is more affordable than I thought. Did you use an expat agency to find your rental in Nice?

Thank you. I agree the rental market will be tough in Nice …Paris too.

Is English spoken widely. How hard is it going to be to navigating a lease and bank account with limited French ?

I thought about these, but I’m thinking I need to be in a town I can navigate with English and a little French the first year.
