Moving to another country can be a daunting prospect, but settling into your new home in France needn’t be a chore. Persevere with the language, mix with the locals and embrace the differences between life in France and the UK. You won’t regret it!
Make sure you brush up on French traditions before purchasing a property across the English Channel. The locals are extremely friendly but might not take kindly to you kissing them too many times.
There’s a lot of nonsense spoken about the British in France. The cultural stereotype is that the British won’t speak French and the French won’t speak English! This could not be further from the truth, as I discovered this week in my local bar when we all made ourselves happily understood.
Driving in France is still a genuine pleasure, with great cars and wide open roads. There is plenty of paperwork and rules, but it’s all intended to keep you safe, as a car buyer as well as a driver.
