The reality of life in France - The Good Life France
Briefly

"It's no secret that I love France. For over 40 years I dreamed of one day moving to France and for the past 18 I have lived in the very rural southwest of the country… While it's good to be optimistic, it's important to have a more balanced perspective which time has given me, and I hope to share with you."
"Simply put, an affordable cost of living, a low crime rate, and a better way of life are just a few reasons why so many people, like me, choose to call France their home. I live in a small village with 150 people and 15 cows… However, amenities such as a bakery, pharmacy, organic grocery store, gas station, winery, Armagnac distillery, and a Michelin-starred restaurant are just 15 minutes away."
"The French excel at l'art de vivre, the art of living, enjoying simple pleasures like spending time with family and friends. They are passionate about their traditions and heritage, because their history is long and rich."
"There is an emphasis on eating fresh, seasonal foods and purchasing them locally, typically at farmers' markets and small neighborhood stores. The mastery of techniques, regional diversity, high-quality ingredients, and culinary education all contribute to France's reputation as masters of cuisine."
