Some people move to France to retire. Then they move again. And then they move again. The reality of retirement can be complicated.
Trying to get the perfect shot.
WE ARE ALL LIVING LONGER. If we are lucky enough to retire, chances are we have many vital years ahead of us. You can move to your happy place, but then after several years find a happier place. People frequently move from the chillier north to the warmer south. Or from the hot, dry south to the lush, green north.
Brittany is finally getting a proper summer.
Case in point, this summer southern Europe has been slammed by ferociously hot weather. They have been blasting the AC or coming up to Brittany to cool down. Our Breton summer has been chilly and wet. They usually make fun of us for our crappy weather — not any more!
The drift of humans is generally from the hotter regions to the cooler. When you make your retirement plans, remember to think about how you will survive the coming apocalypse.
And if you find out it’s not your happiest possible place, relax, the world is still your oyster, though possibly a fried one. Lmc
