Looking to move from England to Limousine

Hello

I was living right to the border of Limousin. I have just moved to a large gite, in dordogne, big tourist area of France, there are many british living here. I am in Le Bugue near Sarlat. Limousin is very rainy in the winter, so if you want nicer weather, you should look for something in the perigord noir which is part of dordogne.  I am a US/FRENCH citizen.  My number is ***

If I had to suggest something then it would be not to live in an area with a high percentage of expats. Obviously if that is what you want then so be it but to enjoy the full flavour of France, and the French, I would suggest an area without a density of ex pats.

The area I live in (Pays Basque) has relatively few, in fact in 20 years I still have to meet any Brits! If you mix with expats you won't integrate completely, you will rely on other ex pats for almost anything which means language and customs won't be developed.

That may be what you want and if so then of course you will be happy. If you want to integrate properly then avoid  ex pats like the plague!!!

I do know other expats in other regions and I get on with them very well. But it is a 'distance' thing not in the same village or area, big difference. I have found that as nice as people are they have trouble speaking French and integrating properly because of the reliance of British friends for all their needs.

Each to his own of course and I wish you luck wherever you end up!

Elizabeth , how are the winters in perigord noir , wet , cold , windy ?? or dry and sunny cold ?
