After sixteen years farming in Normandy, noses to the grindstone, thoughts are now turning towards retirement and we've long had a hankering to end up in Brittany. Only trouble is we constantly hear that the Brittany peninsula is now groaning under the weight of so many UK expats that the locals are often pretty unfriendly. Obviously it's unhelpful to make sweeping statements - everyone's experience is different but it would be interesting to have any views/opinions on this. I can only too well remember many years ago being an English 'outsider' in Wales. We've had no problems with the locals here having long since proved our bona fide farming credentials - there were one or two in the beginning who thought we'd landed from mars it's true but on the whole no integration difficulties. Would love to have your comments.
