France? No, haven't been interested in going there..only lasted one day in a university French class. Professor was a little too effeminate for my taste..I wanted to learn French to seduce WOMEN!
Anyway, I about starved in the UK. I figured that if I went to the French countryside I would not only starve, but have the language barrier to deal with too.
So, will you be able to work down there?
My wife looks at those "charming" country cottages, from the western parts of France, and is thinking that the price is right too! I suspect that some day, when the economy around here picks up, we'll have to make it over there. I've turned vegetarian a few months ago and so I won't have to worry
about our not being able to find a place to get a meal. No one caters to vegetarians anyway, so we'll have to forage our way through the country!
