Living in France
Having lived in the South of France for over 2 years I am now wondering if this has been a huge mistake! For a start, the last winter was no drier or warmer than the West of England. Financially, I am finding it more expensive to live here than in England - the cost of food, petrol etc. seems to be no cheaper.
The paperwork here is an absolute nightmare - it took over 12 months to re-register a previously UK registered motorbike.
There is nothing to do in the Winter - is cooking and gardening all that people do here? Where is all the live music and buzzing parties?
I could go on, but would sound like a good old moaner - your comments please!

If you post on the France Forum with more details about yourself, you'll probably get more reaction.
