Hi Dave

We've lived here 8 years, children now 10 and 14 and we run gites.

Re: Hi, any info on life in Bordeaux??

No problem. Did you know that Next, Marks and Spencer and Tesco direct (clothes) also deliver to France? I think M&S only charge £5.00 too.

Re: Hi, any info on life in Bordeaux??

There are several good sites to look for long lets. Try www.rentaplaceinfrance.com or as an alternative many estate agents (immobiliers) will have links on their sites or knowledge of places to rent.
