I hope to take the next academic year off my teaching job in order to go and spend a year living in France with DD age 7. I'm trying to work out where to go. I want somewhere cycle friendly, with a pleasant climate, coastal and not too far away from airports. I don't want to live in a large city, I'd much prefer a large village or small town. I speak French and DD has some French too. I intend to send her to a French primary school. We have Irish passports, so the impact of Brexit isn't a concern. I've been thinking of the la Rochelle area- any opinions on that?
I'd really appreciate your input if you have any suggestions or ideas. Thank you in advance.
