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.

Good Afternoon Nila350 and welcome to Expat.com
Maybe the Network of Americans in Lyon might be of help to make contacts!
Cheers
Arlette
