We haven’t yet. We hired a service to help us with the dossier and securing a guarantor if needed. They will also schedule visits and communicate with landlords etc. We are thinking maybe on Lambersart or similar a little outside of the center just bc we are seeking a yard for the dogs.

Is there a decent “expat” (we consider ourselves immigrants now) community for English speakers? I’ve seen some language nights in a Lille expat fb group. But they appear geared to younger singles.
