Thanks for replying Bev,
We are in our 40's and my husband is a plasterer, he would be willing to do anything, he would proberbly only need to work part time, we hopefully wont need a mortgage. We cant speak french but are more than willing to learn, we were thinking of buying a motor home and just travel for a while until we found somewhere we wanted to be. Is there certain towns or villages that expats stay in and if there is what are they called, we need as much help as poss. Do you live in France
