When my husband, Keith, retired we decided to leave England to live in France.

 

Living in France was a chellenge.  We had to learn the French language.  Trying the French food and delicious French wine was a wonderful experience.  

I wrote a diary recording our move to Central France and turned it into a book telling how we:  

Got a carte vital (health cover).

Our meeting with the mairie to learn the local rules and regulations,

How we renovated the property and created a gite out of the barn.

Created a list of things to see and do in rural France.
