Where to live in France if British?

Hi Tony,
I'm from the U.S. I lived in southern France for a year in 2000-2001. There was a large contingent of Brits living there at the time. I lived in Grasse but originally wanted to live in Valbonne. I'm sure things have changed as its been awhile but we found the locals very "tolerant" of our rudimentary French and of course the countryside is beautiful and the airport is close. Let me know if you've more questions.
Best,

Tony - an ex-Glaswegian myself. It is so much easier to help if more details are supplied. Do you need/want to work? Do you have children? Do you speak any French? Do you see yourself living in a town or a village? North or south? Among expats or among French people?

In general house prices rise as you get closer + closer to the coast.

French people are in the main friendly and welcoming - and Scots start off with an advantage over some other peoples. But you must accept that this is France - don't complain or moan - you chose to come here. Speak the language, shop locally as much as possible, tell French people how happy you are, what a wonderful country France is.

And a few final words of caution - some people don't stay very long - miss nights in pub, friends + family, shopping on Sundays, a decent curry ...... Having a plan B is recommended

I would say come down to the Pyrenees Atlantiques.  But then again I am an estate agent.  I do live there myself, which is a sort of recommendation.
