Naturally enough the French Riviera is a dream destination – who wouldn’t want to live in such a stunning and sun kissed spot?

All of these questions and a thousand more are answered in this really practical read.
‘Going to Live on the French Riviera’ has been written by Charles Davey, an author who has a natural love of France and a great understanding, not only of the French and their way of life, but how the British and other English speaking expatriates need to adjust to live happily in France.
The author’s depth of knowledge coupled with his sensitivity to the emotional rollercoaster that expats go through when moving to live abroad make this particular book a really good read – quite simply there is wisdom and warmth and insight all in equal measures!
The book begins by welcoming the expat (or would be expat) to the Cote d’Azur – the author takes delight in revealing many of the delights of this particular region of France and this chapter really convinces anyone having second thoughts about whether to go ahead and make the move that the time is right to pack their bags and get on the next plane to the South of France!
Charles Davey then moves on to detail the practical aspects associated with packing up, shipping out and making a new life on the French Riviera…
The author writes about finding somewhere to live, finding a job, finding a summer job, finding a college, getting children into school, retiring to the South of France and settling into your new life on the French Riviera. There is a wealth of impossible to find, practical advice about everything from who to apply to to get into a given college, where to go to get medical treatment, where to shop for the best local produce, where to get home comforts, how to meet up with like minded people and how to keep yourself, your children or grandchildren occupied and happy in the South of France.
This is a great book – it allows one to dream of a better life living on the Mediterranean and it gives one all of the practical assistance required to make the dream come true! If you or someone you know has a desire to make the move or is already in the planning stages of starting their new life in France this is the book to read to make the dream a reality and to make the move a smooth one.
