savvysarthe Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Hi,We are moving full time to our house near Saint Calais in Sarthe, are there any other English people near us or are we all alone?Tania & Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 We're in 72 as well, but we're near Alençon. More like Lower Normandy, but technically the Sarthe. If you're lucky you'll find you're the only English around your parts but it's unlikely. That was tongue in cheek, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savvysarthe Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Thanks.....One of the main reasons for choosing the house was because of its isolation. My parents live in Chalais and i call it little England, nice but too overcrowded. However, it is nice to have someone else in the area to meet up with now and then and have a chat and a coffee. My French isn't great so a good old natter now and then won't go amiss i'm sure. Tania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Anyone here from C*******? Quick, Tania, do an edit then I'll edit this and no-one'll be any the wiser. There, edited mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 We are planning to move close to Ecommoy nr a village called Marigne Laille in August of this year, subject to legals etc.... So we look to be quite near by, so keep in touch.Anne & Bradlee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I'll probably still be kicking about on the forum, or you can get our email off the website if I seem to have disappeared or been banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deimos Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I live not too far from either St Calais nor from Ecommoy (or Marigne Laille – drove through it yesterday). There are a few English speaking voices one overhears occasionally in the Supermarket in winter but not that many. Its actually surprising as its an excellent area, good communications for UK (low cost flights, ferries, etc.) but is still largely French (main holiday home owners seem to be Parisians – who are not too popular).When you move, if I can help at all, do PM me.
