Finding a long term let in the alps
Hi folks - I'm planning on moving to the alps and have been looking at places within about an hour from Geneva Airport, e.g. Annecy... and further to the East, e.g. Morzine, Les Gets etc. Don't really mind, as long as there are slopes and good views!
Trouble is, I can't seem to find any long term (12 month) rentals. Everything online is seasons / skiing short term. Maybe it's a case of finding local residential lettings in the local newspaper.
My French is hopeless - I plan to learn intensively when I arrive. So I'm a bit stuck as to how to make a shortlist of potential properties to rent, before going over to do some viewings.
Any ideas gratefully received!
thanks
Jane.

Sorry I can't help personally, I live in the Languedoc, but you may get more answers if you post in the France forum!
