Lately, my husband and I have spent a lot of time talking about where we want to live when we move to France. Maybe it's because our youngest is a senior in high school so we will soon have more living options.
We also watch HGTV's House Hunters International to see what other people pick.
Our dream is a house somewhere in the south of France, possibly Provence, near a village where we could walk to buy bread or have a drink.
Maybe this would be our view from above a city.
Maybe someday we'll have a view like this from our apartment in Aix.

Or maybe we'll look out on a square with a fountain, like this one.

Thanks for playing along today.

I vote for an authentic Parisian apartement with all mod cons!!
Jackie, Definitely. I'm reading a memoir where the family bought a house without indoor plumbing. That is a non-starter with me. I need a bathroom.
I am quite fond of Lyon. I want a boulangerie very close by.
I'd pick Aix. St Remy is also a beautiful city. Nimes, Utezes and Lourmarin would also be on my list.
Great photos! A lot of expats move to either very tiny villages and buy big farmhouses, or they move to an apartment in Paris or a smaller city. It is a difficult decision because both options are wonderful. I guess it depends a bit on whether you will spend a lot of time at home or if you like spending a good deal of time going to museums, restaurants, shopping etc.
Oh we can only dream. I'd pick Paris, they were building flats on rue de sevres when we were there last year that would be perfect. Now, just to win the lottery!
After a lot of diberation , I have not choosen Paris , I have chosen Menton , never been but was so close . I love this part of France and it is right on the border of my beloved Italy .
I love everything I have seen and experienced in Paris and will definitely go back :-) what I am finding though , I am reading more and more Brits going in , opening Fish and chips shops, Americans opening more places etc etc ,, I don't want that. I don't want to know that failing Marks and Spencers is over there . I do shop in M and S , but not in Paris.

My inlaws went to Menton and love loved it. I haven't been anywhere but Italy in Europe so I would have to say from what I see on television...Italy! I'm thinking Sicily where my relatives live.
So fun to see all of your dreams about living in Frabce (or Italy) too
Since we are dreaming, I'm going to pick a Parisian apartment AND a place on the beach in Bandol; starting everyday with a morning walk along the seafront promenade and popping in for a cafe au lait is still my idea of Paradise.
I am rather partial to my area of France but really anywhere would be an exciting adventure. Happy dreaming!
Yes , nice pictures , I like that interesting place ! Really gorgeous little town! Greetings !
I'm late to the party and may end up posting this one again next week! I think I'd like to live where you posted! I don't know a lot of French towns other than Paris but this one looks gorgeous perfect!
