Where Should You Live in France? Live Q&A

France gives you an enormous amount of choice when you're deciding where to live.

A city or a village? North or south? Coast or countryside? Somewhere you can live without a car? Close to an airport? Somewhere with good healthcare nearby?

And then there’s the question of budget. The places you fall in love with on holiday aren't always the places that make the most sense when you're looking at rent or property prices, transport and everyday life.

That's exactly what we'll be talking about in this free Live Q&A with Ben Small.

There’s no long presentation. Instead, bring your own questions and tell us about the life you're hoping to build in France.

You can ask Ben about:

• Your shortlist — deciding between different towns, cities or regions
• Budget — where your rental or property budget could realistically take you
• Living without a car — trains, public transport and walkability
• Healthcare — access to hospitals, doctors and everyday services
• Climate — what different parts of France are really like throughout the year
• Travel — airports, TGV connections and getting back to the US
• Lifestyle — city, coast, countryside, community, culture and everyday life
• Renting vs buying — and whether that should influence where you start

Already choosing between Bordeaux and Toulouse? Wondering whether you could live without a car in Montpellier? Looking for somewhere warmer but worried about summer heat? Trying to find a town with good healthcare that still feels lively?

Bring the question.
