I think you nailed it in all categories! I lived in Aix en Provence for 4 years and the SW of France for 10...Portugal for the win, but France is a beautiful country full of history and culture, but it is way more expensive! We could not afford the same home there that we own in Portugal! Groceries and taxes are through the roof in France...California too! We're staying in Portugal! ❤️🇵🇹 Our French family is always complaining about prices/tax increases and we never complain and are super content! We are way more comfortable in Portugal!!
Provense is expensive for housing, the whole southern France is expensive. Central regions like Auvergne or Bourgogne are way more affordable. For instance you can get a decent house with a garden for less than 50K€ in the Nièvre département (Bourgogne). But you need to have a car because public transportation isn't efficient.
Ummm two great choices for someone looking for their new adventure. For me, Madeira has been a great choice but boy you sure could not go wrong with France. No bad choice here. Go for it!
how does the cost of food compare to the US in grocery stores? I ask because I spend less than 300 a month, as a single person. I don't eat out at all. Your figure is very high compared to mine, but giving an average of what it would cost you in the US would be helpful.
Olá Annie, Yes, we eat a lot. Leslie likes to cook. Today we would spend about $800 or $900 but we never eat out and tended to host cook outs which added to our USA bill.
France is more central for travel to other parts of Europe where Portuguese island is way off the beaten path. Both great places though. Portugal has great surfing.
Olá! Absolutely true. We were worried about that but got over since a Flight can be purchased for €30 most times of the year. I just booked a trip to Lisboa in June which is high season and it cost €77 for three of us. Once you are there you can grab a car, take a train or flight to anywhere else you want to go.

Absolutely agree! No matter the choice you can always go visit the other since they are so close!
On Madeira I would expect to need a car to get around. In an urban area in France like Bordeaux, Nice, or Paris, less so.
