Hi There

I'm not in your area so I can't really help but there's lots of english speaking on the riviera. Have you visited AngloINFO French Riviera: living in and moving to the Côte d'Azur, France where people could advised you of english speaking doctors and you probably will be able to connect with local english speaking.
Hope that will help.
Cheers,

Pauline

Hi, sorry but I seem to have missed your original post here. You may want to try and contact one of the AVFs in the Var uravfpacac - Bienvenue en Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur Corse (Check the list of AVF groups on the left side of the page. There are seven groups in the Var - just click on the one that's closest to you - or in a town you're familiar with.

The AVF is a newcomers' group - for French and expats. They should be able to help you find an English speaking doctor and can probably do lots for your isolation. (They definitely helped me here in the Paris area when I was having a very tough time adjusting to France!)
Cheers,
Bev

Hi!

I'm so sorry you are isolated. My husband and I will be moving to Nice in June and would love to meet up with you if you're game! I will PM you my email address.

I have done a little bit of googling for groups and have spotted this one:

Meetup.com

I went to a few meet ups in London using that site. I never really found a great group but did manage to glean a few friends from the groups.
