I've been an occasional visitor to this forum but because I live in the US I have never seen your magazine until now. Several months ago I posted a note here asking for a winter rental. Someone saw my note and responded, offering us an apartment in Collioure which we are very much looking forward to occupying. When I noticed your current issue is about that part of France, I had to order it. Your magazine is not only gorgeous, but is filled with great information we'll use as we make plans for the winter. The beautiful two-page photo of houses in Collioure really was the icing on the cake! I scanned the picture and am using it as my screen-saver, wondering if one of the pictured apartments is going to be "mine." Thank you for creating such an interesting publication, and kudos to your author & photographer. Libbie in North Carolina, USA

I'd love to subscribe to your magazine but can't pay the advertised price for outside-the-UK subscriptions. Now that you are owned by the same company that owns FRANCE magazine, any chance that your price in the US will be about what there's is? Will you be using the same fulfillment house to do US mailing?

We are beginning to look for rentals in or near Lille and Dijon. We will have two weeks next April. Holiday flats in those cities would be our first choice but anything within striking distance will be of interest. Please e-mail me at [email protected]. Thanks, Libbie in USA

We are a retired American couple thinking of moving to France. We really like the area around Dijon and Riems. Would anyone here mind telling me a bit about life in that region. How's the weather? The cost of living? Are there many English-speakers in that part of France? etc., etc. I would like to hear from anyone with a one or two-bedroom furnished apartment that might be rentable during the winter 2003-2004 season. Thanks! Libbie

Can someone help me find good, reliable information about how retired Americans in France can arrange for health care coverage? One of us has Medicare in the U.S., the other won't have it for ten years. We know Medicare won't apply to us living outside the U.S. What can we do to replace it? One of us has some claim on British residency rights because a grandparent was born in the UK. Does that have any effect on our access to government health care in France? Would it make a difference if we first lived in England then later in France? Hoping for some answers. My e-mail address is [email protected]. Thank you, Libbie
