Hello, I am a retiree looking for a special place in France to continue my retirement in 2025. My wife and I were planning to relocate to France sometime this year. However, she transitioned in June of last year. We were considering western France along the Atlantic Ocean.  I am still committed to this area and would like to meet groups and individuals living in the area. My hobby is Landscape photography, and I would also like to meet groups and individuals with the same interests. My French does not go beyond the basics. However, having worked internationally for the better part of 15 years, I am accustomed to hearing languages I did not understand initially. Learning a new language becomes a good challenge for self-improvement.

Hi everyone. Is there any filipino here. I'm here in toulon. I'm glad to meet Filipino here

My husband and I are moving to the Passais Villages area of Normandy, June of 2026. We’re doing a 2 week fact finding trip in September of this year. We’re selling our house now and renting in the USA for a year in case we decide to go earlier. I’ve been learning the language for a year and my husband is brushing up on his. He’s English and he worked in France for a period when he was younger. We are researching as much as possible in advance, hence singing up for this group. My husband’s brother lives in Saint Fraimbault, and that’s one of the many reasons we want to go. He can help us but he moved from England and we’re moving from USA.

Bonjour. We are Monica and Warren from New Zealand, though we also hold US citizenship. We have lived in the south Charente, south west France, for the past 7 years.

We run 3x Meublé de Tourisme (furnished) holiday homes in small local villages and welcome guests from around the world. This area is not as well known as the 'south of France' but we have the 2nd most sunshine hours in the country and the winters are mild and the summers glorious.

We are just one hour from the Atlantic coast, and our local towns and cities are smaller than most, except Bordeaux of course. We love the undulating, Cognac vine covered hills in this area and the Charente River Valley below.

So much to love and the French people have been so welcoming. Let me know if you want more information about the area. I love to spread the word  ***

Hello and welcome !

I would suggest that you look for opportunities on jobs portals such as those listed in the Working in France article and that you create your CV in the Jobs in France section for better visibility.

LinkedIn works also very well.

All the best

Hi!

I'm new to this forum but I've been living in France since 2003. I'm originally from the UK.

I started out living in Caen but it wasn't very welcoming to English expats, so I moved to Nantes after a few years where I have lived ever since.

During my time here I have raised 3 children, mostly on my own. Now that they are grown, I find myself alone, so I have decided to move as soon as I can afford to. I might move back to the UK, I might go somewhere else, who knows? I just got a part-time job as a babysitter/English teacher and I have a few ideas for some viable side-hustles, so l have plenty of time to decide where to move to whilst I gather the funds for it.

Think of the weather! the SW of France seems great.

I'm Polish starting to live in France because of partner who is French. I'd like to get a job as an English teacher as a second language. For the last 5 years I've been teaching online, but I start to miss people and I love meeting new people that's why I'd love tot take up a job as regular teacher.

I'm Charly, wants to move back to China with my wife. I'm many things, engineer in electronics and embedded software, as well as uber driver. Looking for opportunities.
