Dylandog

One of the areas that I would recommend is around Fayence, villages such as Callian, Montauroux, St. Paul en Foret and Bagnol en Foret are very French but have a good international mix of residents. Not only is it very beautiful, but is only 50 mins from Nice. Take a look at www.Fayence.com for an idea of the area (it is in English as well). Good Luck in your search
