If you are planning on moving to France, it can sometimes be daunting to settle on a place to live. Paris is iconic, but too expensive. Brittany is beautiful, but too wet and remote. The French Riviera is very chic, but also expensive, crowded and getting too hot in the summer. Provence would be a dream, but is there enough going on for living all year around? So where do you choose? Let me suggest the Charentes to you. The climate is mild & sunny, property is inexpensive, there is an excellent transport network, a beautiful coastline, a distinct regional gastronomy and there are plenty of interesting towns & villages to visit.
