Living in France: A Practical Guide to Your New Life in France [Paperback]

Patricia Mansfield-Devine (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 31, 2008

Living in France is a hands-on, practical guide for Britons who have bought a house in France, either for holiday use or as a permanent home. Written by a long-time French resident, it takes a nitty-gritty approach to what it is really like for a British ex-pat to live and work in France, looking squarely at both the pleasures and the difficulties. The book also contains anecdotes from the author along with case studies so that the reader may benefit from the personal experience of other Britons who have made the move to France.

I purchased this book with the idea of an extended visit to France. It was very helpful and even included ideas for those just visiting. It is an easy read and easy to understand with many practical ideas.
