Lille or Grenoble?

J
#1

Hello all, I'm new and moving to France, probably Lille but I'd like to know anyone who has lived there and also considering Grenoble.  I'm 61 widow from California living in CDMX (Mexico City)for the last 6 years. My move date goal is Oct this year. I have 3 pets, 2 dogs and a cat. In a semi retired music producer.

Would be awesome to get to know some bilingual folks. Especially in my first few months of moving.  I know the visa the process and settling in will be challenging but with a bit o'luck , patients and persistence I look forward to my retirement in France.

Sincerely

John

Hello John Lujan,


Welcome to Expat.com 😀


I have created a new thread with your post on the France forum to give it better visibility. This way, you are more likely to receive opinions from other members about whether Lille or Grenoble would be a better choice.


Feel free to keep us updated on your plans - we would love to hear how things progress!


All the best,


Cheryl
