Thank you for your comments. We have never encountered any problems in all of our visits in fact everyone is very friendly and warm. However, now that we own property and plan on living there permanently in a few years, I was very interested to hear of other's experience of living in rural France especially in light of the current situation. As I have mentioned in a PM with another poster, I have actually felt more conscience in our area of Dordogne of being English than Jewish. In any case, I am sure we will be very happy and take any problems that may arise in our stride whether we are discriminated against for being Jewish or English, hopefully neither. Just hope our problems aren't as great as Jsensiba's, already had an experience with a dog. I can see us being overrun with stray animals (unfortunately, a real softy at heart).

I would be most interested to find out if there are any other Jewish people on the LF forum. We have recently bought a house that we will be using as a second home until (our dream) we can move out permanently. With all the talk of extreme anti semitism in France it is obviously very upsetting and worrying to both of us. I would love to hear about first hand experience from any Jewish person that has moved to rural France and what your experience has been.
