Moving to France

Hello everyone,
My husband and I will be in St Etienne/Lyon area  in October 2010 to explore that area and look for a small house to buy to use as a second home.  We moved from USA to Turkey 3 years ago and enjoy living here and own a flat.  We decided to have a second home to spend part of the year in France and prefer the Lyon/St Etienne area for buying a house.  We don't yet speak French but are in the process of learning.  I am a psychologist and still practice parttime here in Turkey on the mediterranean part where we live now.  I would love to make  connections with some of the American expats living in the Lyon or St Etienne or surrounding areas.
If any of you have any recommendations as to a good real estate agent who also speaks English I would greatly appreciate.  We will definitely need one who can help show us some available properties.  I would appreciate any suggestions from everyone.
