It's this one Tressy http://www.linternaute.com/ville/ EDIT: the average household income here is 1124€ per month, and that's (obviously) for fluent French speaking French people.

Just over 800E per month is the average household income in our rural commune. Unemployment is 10%, which isn't bad compared to other rural communes nearby that I've looked at.    Report

Yes, I realise that the income potential is not there, which is my point about asking how much it costs to rent. If we have cash in the bank to buy a house I now dont think renting is going to be a good idea for us as it maybe a long while before my husband and I find some work. Even though there will be four adults and we will all pitch in with our bit out of our savings, I would still rather preserve as much cash as possible. If my husband continues to work in the UK for a long as possible where he is able to earn his full potential in his trade then I think maybe me and the mums will be making as many trips to France as possible to check out properties. If may even be necessary for him to commute to the UK as a last resort. But I guess this is a subject for another forum! Someone asked where we are looking, We are currently aiming for the South West region (for now). Somewhere near Bergerac airport incase hubby needs to keep flying in and out. The properties seem reasonable round that area (only from what Ive seen on the net, if anyone knows different please enlighten me!) and theres a couple of schools with a reasonable amount of British children in which will be good for our kids and not let them feel too isolated.                Report

You can rent a gite out of season if it is equipped for winter lets (heating etc.) We rent our 3 bedroom gite in the winter to house hunters and there are lots of web sites that specialise in longer term lets.

Try www.rentaplaceinfrance.com which is specific for winter lets. You may need to look into flights to UK a little bit more as Bergerac (for one) tends to stop flights from about November to March which has been a real pain for a lot of people.    Report
