Bonjour, Fabien. Thank you. I missed the webinar bc we sold our condo and must move quickly while we await our VLS-TS interview. Thank you for your excellent videos!!!! Merci. Dean et Cindy
Terrific webinar! Hoping to relocate to the Bordeaux region from Colorado (USA) in about 2-3 years. Sooner, if we can put the pieces in place to make that happen as quickly as possible. You are both very much appreciated for sharing this excellent information. Bonne journee!
I disagree with Adrian’s view of Bordeaux’s connectivity. I’ve studied the air connections from it and it hits the places we’d want to get to in Europe. Of course to go to US you need to go through Paris no matter where you are in France. I also disagree with the premise that an American should be necessarily aiming for a place full of American expats. How does that help assimilation into French society and culture? Sure, I’d like some international expat friends, but definitely not exclusively American. Finally, while I love Paris, I would never want to live there. I’d prefer Bordeaux: beautiful and human-scaled, less crowds, less expensive, better weather, not far from coast, closer to nature in general than Paris is, very walkable and bikeable and with good public transport-including a 2-hour TGV train to Paris so that you could theoretically do day trips there. And I appreciate that the current mayor (Pierre Hurmic) is from The Greens party. The city’s been headed in a good direction the past 20 years. The one downside to me is that since the TGV opened in 2017 there have been too many Parisians selling there small overpriced flats in Paris to move to something bigger and less expensive in Bordeaux and commuting from there! That has elevated real estate in Bordeaux.
I was live yesterday, this was great. TY!
Great web narrative. Thank you both

Great webinar... I am a filmmaker looking to moving to Bretagne by July 2025 - looking to connect with the transition process
