We live in a very rural hamlet of four houses and the only French people we know well are two neighbours, but I think our faces are getting pretty well known in the local supermarket and restaurant! We have always done our best to be super-polite and friendly so that the locals have a good view of us British - not difficult, as we have always been kindly treated. Speaking French, however haltingly, certainly helps.

Apart from the masses of work the garden takes to keep it from taking over, the thing that is most striking is the community of French and Brits you have come to know, support and contribute to over the years. It sounds pretty idyllic.

I know quite a few people who have second homes in France & I'd like to hear about how you get involved in the local community, make friends with people etc. I imagine you speak fluent French too. Thank you for your post, Sue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
