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
