I lived in the USA for 10 years and in currently in the Uk for 2 yrs.We will be moving there july 1st and my american husband and 4 children ( 9, 3,2 and 9 months) do not speak a word of french therefore I was looking for english speaking persons to ease it a bitI know Bagnole it isn't too far.mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creusois Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Perverse as it seems, the best way to find english speaking people living nearby to where you live is to talk the the locals - they know far more that you would ever give them credit for and will take great delight in telling you of Les Brittaniques who live at ............

jondavrob Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Hi MaryWe ( me, my wife and our 2 yr old) have been living in bellerive (next to Vichy) for over 2 years and know of a fair few English speaking people in this area (mostly because we are estate agents and sold them their houses!) . There is also a cafe (juice cafe) in Vichy where a small club called the BBC meet once a month. If you would like to know more then just let me know! Hope you are enjoying this area.

Melrob Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Hi Mary,Had a bit of a rethink and have now put off move till 30th May as running out of time for tuesday (and have to come back to uk for SIL's wedding on the 28th) so we're breathing a little bit easier now! We have also booked the ferry crossings so theres no coming back thank god ( one way trips!!!)Anyway....we are moving for several reasons. Moving to France gives us the opportunity to live the sort of life we want to live, at a pace that suits us. We have bought a house we could only dream of owning in UK so we can actually make our dreams reality. We want Nicole to grow up with better values in a more wholesome environment than is on offer in the UK. I could go on and on and on, but i'm sure you get my drift. It's hard to believe we're on the home straight at last , it's been a long time coming!!!Melanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
