I guess I couldnt agree more :) I'd love to discuss your project because I could point you in some right directions, based on my experience. Up to you!

Hey Erick, good day ! About rentals. Short-term and long-term are two different scenario entirely. 1) If were blunt, I would say that as a non-resident you probably don’t stand much of chance of convincing a landlord to sign a long-term tenancy agreement with you. [Please note I didn’t say “foreigner” - I had the same “credibility” issues when I came back from abroad and wanted to rent a place, however French I may be😊] That’s because you would need to provide documents that you simply can’t provide: past tenancy agreements in France, current employment contract, French tax returns. And then you might be asked to have a guarantor. Or go through a gov’t-sponsored guaranty scheme. Possibly but (very) complicated. 2) Short-term is easily done. Obviously there is the Airbnb way. If theory you can’t stay in a short-term rental much longer than 3 months. In practice it can be done by signing a 1-year rental agreement, which is much easier to find. But you still need to build some credibility. And possibly be willing (and able) to front 3 or 6 months of rent payments. Or organise this in a different way. It is doable. NOW, having said all that - it depends on your project AND your circumstances. Which I don’t know - yet 😊 If you want, we can discuss them. No commitment, chat is free. Reach out if you want.

Thanks for the information. I'm still a few years away from being able to walk away from my job. For now I'm learning and planning.

@@erickarnell Glad I could help :)

Hey Erick. Thanks for your interest. To answer your question: I don't believe so. >< The main reason is that populations move, evolve, everywhere. There is a mix. I live in Uzès, the south of France, near Avignon and Nîmes. I have been here for 15 years, and my parents coming from Paris and Brittany have been here 35 years. Our family is a perfect example. And in Uzès center, you find true genuine "local" families (around from generations) and most of large properties are owned by children of people who arrived around in the 1920-1950s from nearby areas - and bought lots of houses on the cheap. Add in lost of foreigners who have bought vacation homes and are increasingly settling here. That's the mix. 4 or 5 layers of population. >< So those clichés about the French divide... Well to me they are urban legends.

Thanks for the comment. 2 things: I don't have the time to record things myself, using AI is much quicker :) Notwithstanding the fact that I too sometimes mispronounce words - I'm French after all :) Most of the time, if the AI bot mispronounces, it's because I have miswritten...

@@frenchpropertycoach Ok, not a personal criticism, but the AI-generated voice is just too "TikTok" for my taste and I'd be perfectly happy with a French-accented voiceover. Perhaps we should trade your property services for my language coaching 😆 I am looking for a 2nd home in France, after all.

You're right - I havent talked about weather because that's kind of an obvious-when-you-research-an-area. Maybe I should have :) In my experience, people know pretty quickly whether they want the south or the north, with the weather in mind!
