Rain24 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Hi,I live between Nontron and Augignac. There are loads of English in this area. We mostly have friends, french and english, in the village Piègut. You will soon meet people if you visit the bars and restaurants, even if its just for a coffee. Piègut has a large market on wednesday mornings and during the spring and summer months it is absolutely packed. You can buy all your fresh produce and then have a coffee or lunch, it is a very nice atmosphere. Try and have a mix of friends, not just english. We have many french friends through visiting the bar in Piègut and playing pool etc, you soon strike up a conversation. Make sure you find out when there is music, entertainment on in the restaurants, its a good way of meeting people.Let me know when you are over, maybe meet for a coffee.Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
