Living in the Lot et Garonne Region

There are 101 questions that you will want answered before you move to France. Typically these fall into various categories:

Where do we want to live

Do we need to buy a property before moving

Will we meet people easily, either English or French

Can we move to France with young children

Will we need to renovate a property

Will we be able to learn to speak French

These issues are discussed in detail at sites www.francethisway.com and www.gite-web.com and www.france-renovation.com so I will not duplicate the information here.

 

If you are moving to the region, live here already, or have a second home or rental property here, you will know that one of the main challenges is finding good artisans and workers.

On this page I list suppliers of useful services, recommended by those who have used and paid for the service (i.e. not family and personal friends!) If you have a recommendation to make please let me know via the Contact Page.
