My wife and I would like to rent a property in Central France - preferably in the Limousine or Lot area - for several weeks in January and February. I wonder if anyone knows of someone who has property to rent during this period and would probably welcome the property being occupied and kept warm rather than locked up and damp! We have a Bearded Collie - who neither moults nor barks so if far from being a nuisance - and would wish to bring her with us. Warmth and comfort would be our main criteria at this time of the year. Would love to hear from you if you can point us in the right direction. Phil & Carole

My wife and I (both retired) are seriously exploring “living in France”. A major concern of my wife’s is if in later life I die first - what may happen to her? Are there ‘care-homes’ as in the UK? Are they as bad as many of the British ones – and would the language/cost present huge problems. Appreciate it’s rather pessimistic – but it’s a major sticking point at present and comments would be greatly appreciated.
