How to live in France. Update to e-book coming!This document has been prompted by the experience of being an English expatriate, working in France. The contents are my personal experience, or those of many of the other expatriates here in this corner of France (the wonderful Provence). As such this is a practical guide to living in France. You may think, on reading this, that I am very negative about the French and their way of life. I am not. After all, I have lived here for over seven years already, and cannot see myself returning to the UK for some time. My objective is to present all the potential trials and tribulations possible, so that you can be aware of these BEFORE you enjoy life in France. The French learn the way of life from their parents and peers, but for a foreigner there are many things which are not obvious... indeed, in many cases, my family has learnt these things the hard way.
Words are but mine own, I speaketh not for another
