Hi Tony, Thanks for that information. Do you know who I would contact to find out about the bridge clubs and the Anglophone Association Is it easy to meet other Brits if you live full time in the Dordogne? My husband has been keen to live in France for years and I love it too (for holidays) but I'm worried about being bored and lonely. We do speak some French and intend to work hard on the language but I gather it is difficult to break into French society. All the best, Annie
