Have posted a couple of messages recently about moving to the SW in next couple of yrs. We are looking at a number of areas and will be doing a recce next Spring. Our shortlist at present includes Castres, Castelnaudary, Carcassonne and Foix (and the surrounding areas as we are still undecided about town, village or country living!). In the meantime if anyone living in this region could share their knowledge and experiences we would be pleased to hear from you.    Report

Hopefully, come the Autumn with the nights drawing in, activity on the forum will pick up a bit, as to my mind it has been unusually quiet. That said with the continuing decline of the £ and UK property market, the French dream for many has probably been postponed for the time being!     Report

In geographic terms I believe they are in the SW of France.  However, this forum seems to put them into the SE section.  Judith ex W1 and now in the Aude    Report
