Hi Chantal: Just wanted to say that my husband and I love France and
try to get there once a year; someday not too far in the future, we want
to live there;
we've been to a lot of different parts of France, but are attracted to
the area around Collioure, near Perpignan, near the Pyrenees;
do you think that's a good place to settle down?
