French Country Life – it evokes images of sunshine and sun flowers, chilled wine on the terrace, linen bedspreds and tiny blue print patterns. Grapes, berets, tree lined avenues. Gloriously relaxed endless days with social lunchtime gatherings and family ambience.
Yes all of the above are true but living in France can also be challenging and demanding and sometimes frustrating. Country life is a wonderful adventure during short stays, rustic charm, even exotic and perhaps a little romantic. The reality of long term country living need be no less idylic, provided you have your eyes wide open and you deal with the testing times too.
