Hi all after readinganother thread from a few years ago i am a little reluctant to ask similarquestions that another person posted, the post received some very negativeunnecessary comments. Anyway i will give it a bash in the hope that i receivepositive assistance with my questions. We are moving to France from SouthAfrica in 2018. We have looked at a number of areas in the South of France,Limousin, Aquitain Brittany Dordogne etc. The catch really for us is we are bringing our twoEnglish/ Afrikaans grandchildren with us. They are 2 and 4 years of age. MySouth African husband speaks French so that's a huge bonus. I will be doingseveral french language courses over the next 12 months. So hopefully will beable to communicate with our new locals. My question is where is the best ruralarea with enough foot traffic to settle, with primary schools? where would weget the best value for money, we want to start a small B&B/ restaurant Barin the country with accommodation for us etc. I will be working from home andtravelling whilst still being employed by an offshore company. However my hubbywho loves to cook and has previous hotel, restaurant experience will run thebusiness. We don't have a big budget due to the South African rand being soweak against the Euro. My hubby is a bit of a handyman, he can decorate, tile,paint and do all of the basic renovations if required. The biggest concern forus is our two little parcels. So anyone providing tips or advice should bedoing so with my two grandchildren in mind who will need to be integrated intolocal French schools. So any areas would need to foremost cater for children.Any help or contacts would be greatly appreciated
