Hi! Is there anybody living in the vicinity of Foix or Pamiers? I am close to Mirepoix. Country living is getting the best of me. Where are you all???? Sue

certainly :-)
but do I know anyone where you are? no
Your best bet in this case is to scour the blogs (this is *the* place to share blogs) and look for people in your area that way.

I would like to know how much I need a month to live very basically in France. I will be moving later this year, probably October.

So much depends on what each individual considers basic, and on your location. I found this post helpful:

I confirm that yes, it depends on your location and marital status (have you got children?)

Hello all especially Sue
I am in the Limousine region. It does appear sometimes as if there is none out there, this site needs to be used more.
You are way South lovely part of the world.
Personally I enjoy where we are more or less on the middle however the weather can be a bit iffy. I suspect that South the weather should be better although being so close to the Pyrenees it must get cold when it snows.
France is a lovely country despite what some peoples views are about bureaucracy but honestly if you pay attention and give them what they want its not a problem! I don't see it any different in any of the other countries I have lived in.
The people are lovely even the Parisians once you get to know them, any city has a culture of getting on with things and little time for anything or anyone but thats cities for you.
Rural life is a good pace things get done and the French seem to have the work life balance right avoid stress where possible.
Viva la France
