Moving to La Ciotat or surrounding areas, any advice?

[Paddy77]

We are hoping to move to the area around La Ciotat in the next few months.

For my husbands work we don't want to be more than 20kms from la ciotat. We've got 3 kids, the oldest will be starting CP in sept so schools are very important in our choice.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where would be good to look to rent, with a view to hopefully buying in the next few years (without breaking the bank!). My husband is french and i speak fluent french as we lived in france from 2003 to 2009 before going to tunisia as expats.

Is there much around for english speakers? I'm thinking of other bilingual families so that the kids will have someone other than me to speak to in English.

Thanks for any advice!
