Hi My name in Natalie I am 31 yrs old, in September I am making my first trip to view properties mainly in Quillan. I am taking my family with me - patner and 2 children. We are looking for a new life my partner has not worked for yrs now due to depression and is mostly housebound. I am working to keep us in our house really - 2 jobs which is exhausting. I have a lot of equity in my current house and we would be mortgage free in France and have enough savings to live for two years comfortably - will be looking for a job/setting up business though. I am very familiar with France I have been travelling to Biarritz for 9 years and worked in Bordeaux as a student. I have AS level french my conversation is basic but can read and write French ok. We cannot afford Aquitane unfortunately and Quillan seems much more affordable. I am hoping this area is the one for us - my girls are very active - and the sports available in the area look good. I am a bit scared about this move as my house here is really nice but thats the only nice thing about living here, there is no community spirit - no sense of belonging no culture or atmosphere. I am looking at everyone elses posts now to see everyone's experiences and questions and look forward to "meeting" you all Nat
