Living in the Huelgoat area

Nice idea. I am wondering the same thing for the Loudeac area.
I know there are lots of English people living in Brittany, but a regular cafe meet-up somewhere would be nice.
Good luck anyway.

Hello there. I would be interested in any sort of meetups in Brittany. But I'm sorry to see that so far, this Forum doesn't appear to be especially welcoming as a group!
When I went to live on the island of Gozo (off of Malta) a few years ago, I found their forum to be very friendly, welcoming and helpful. They held (and still do) Pub Quiz's, Car boot sales and organised walks etc. In fact I'm thinking of going back there!
What is it with Brits. in France, I wonder ?

Regards,
Ron

Hi Ron

I think that kind of thing is out there in Brittany, but this forum doesn't seem to be the one to tell us about it so far admittedly. If you find out a better one can you post it on this thread please? Good luck, l am sure you'll find some eventually. Have you tried putting a sign up in local supermarkets,cafes etc?

Thanks for your reply. I haven't actually moved to live in France yet. I'm planning on going over in my Motor-Home towards the end of August to have a look at a few properties. I liked the Huelgoat area when I visited there before and property is quite cheap in Brittany anyway. Also I like the idea of living in a rural area. It's quite noisy where I live at the moment. I live in Bournemouth and a lot of the bungalows round here are being renovated.
Anyway, if you have any observations and/or tips for living in France then I'd be pleased to hear them. What's it like where you live?

Regards,

Keith
