No not native French SewNso, but the brain is definitely French now. We moved here 19 years ago, and couldn't imagine being anywhere else. We love the country, the culture, the people are welcoming, the quality of life is much more relaxed than we had in the UK (but we are now retired).
We are 60kms south west of Limoges, on the Dordogne border, and right in the middle of a Natural Regional Park. I think like the world over, city life here would be quite frantic, but our area is one of the least populated areas - also the area with highest unemployment so not all good news for some.
Here's a link in English about our region
