What a very useful podcast. Love the honesty and all the tips. I am English and my wife is French. I’ve just received French Nationality and we are looking to move to France in the next few years. We both love listening to your podcasts. I think my wife volunteers at the disabled riding stables you sometimes mention!
Catherine shares her experiences and knowledge of living in France and as someone looking to completely move to France in five years, I find her insights very helpful.
Useful information but the volume is VERY low. I have to turn the volume up to maximum. Other podcasts are no problem but this one is recorded at very low level it seems.
As someone who’s recently moved to France from the UK, this is a great resource ! Thank you
Beware of a podcast that is sponsored by a company … these episodes seem to focus on selling products (I.e. financial information - basically he said you need to contact me for the exact answer… ) I understand she wants to make money but take this information with a giant grain of salt- there are others that provide honest information with the same questions that are not sponsored by insurance companies or financial advisors
