Retirement in France!

[Lautrec]

We are currently living and enjoying our life in The Charente, but there will inevitably come a time when maintaining a largish house and garden will be a burden as one gets older. We have been looking in an easier and more relaxed life style and retirement villages seemed to be one solution. There is a concept called Les Senioriales; with sites on the Atlantic Coast, and the Mediterranean to name but a few.

Prices to buy start at around Euros100k and to rent would be from Euros600 per month.

They seem to have all facilities, pools, games rooms, warden controlled etc. The question I would like to ask. Is there anyone reading this who is living in a similar set up or knows someone who does.  If so, could you please impart any information that would be helpful, before we make the trip down to view a site.
