Hi, We live in 86 South East of Poitiers, in the countryside. Beautiful area, great potential for peace and quiet, great restaurants (list available on request), good transport in Poitiers TGV and Ryan Air (at present...), good health services, local schools still very welcoming of English children (so we are told..ours have long left). Comprehensive shops around the ring road of Poitiers But...spoken French is essential and no easily accessible night life. Anything else??
