I am thinking of moving to France for a year this spring and have been doing some research as to where I'd like to settle.
I have it down to about 4 cities which are in the South and seem to have good job opportunities. I will most likely end up applying for CSR jobs or travel agent positions.
My top 4 are:
Bordeaux
Aix-En-Provence
Nice or Sophia Antipolis surrounding area
Toulouse
I will most likely just move with enough money to last me 3 months and hope to get a job within that time frame.
My questions are:
Are Bordeaux and Toulouse overwhelmingly big? I can handle Ottawa, but prefer a city more the size of London (Ontario.)
Is Toulouse a nice city?
Is Aix-en-provence a fairly happening city or is it fairly pedestrian? I currently live in Barrie, Ontario (pop. 125,000) and it is very boring.
I speak French and stayed for 4 months in Normandy so I am not too worried about culture shock.
Any info you can share with me is much appreciated. I am heavily leaning toward Bordeaux.
