Yes, but we can't move with the kids in education. So that is another 15 years before we could even consider it. I would prefer to have a 'maison secondaire' in the UK rather than move there TBH. Spend six months between the two. It might sound silly, but I think it will be the 'climate' in France that will force our decision. It is getting far too hot for my liking. I am dreading the summer. 35-40 degrees don't rock for me. Whereabouts are you? Your location isn't showing. One of the posh banlieues of Tours. Very famous for being the best place to live in the hole world would you believe. Mysty agrees. But he can only dream. But I have lived all over the place in France. Another location in France won't change anything. I would not sell this house to move to the UK. It is prime real estate. That is the problem for us.

I asked because of your dislike of the heat. 35-40° (at Tours ?) Yes it can get that hot in Tours in June/July/August. Certainly in the last few years. It is not just about the air temperature but the intensity of the sun. I can deal with the heat at the moment, but it gets worse every year. So what is it going to be like in 5-10 years time ? Apart from the stress on your body, it also the stress on your house. Especially around here (and all over France for that matter) it is a very big problem. Also, I can tell from the garden, the soil needs water already. So yeah, if I was thinking of moving to France from the UK 'climate change' is by far the biggest consideration when choosing a location. That means Brittany.

Where in the lakes are you going? I'm assuming you're off to the English Lake District?
