Advice please

Go for it, I love to do something like that , though I've got an OH who would prefer a Scottish island, I'd fancy somewhere with better weather.

Just do it, don't stop to think or the urge will be gone and you will live on, wistfully looking at pictures of properties to rent in the South of France. Bonne Chance!

Of course it's a potty idea, that is what is so good about it. I have never done anything on impulse or in any way different and I know I am the loser. Do it. A dull life is a life wasted. Bad , bad weekend.

I would be gone in a flash if my family would come ! Sounds like a great adventure x

Thank you everyone!
Though I have a horrible feeling that when I tell my siblings they are going to say that they always suspected I was crazy and now I'm proving it!

Can't help you with the bridge clubs, but do go! How lovely just to take off for a year

Oh redevil3-good for you!
Go for it and enjoy?

I too am very envious of you, magnifique! I'm a Dinard, (Brittany) girl, but they do call it the Riviera of the north and it has a few bridge clubs!
If I were heading south, I would start in Nice and see what there is to offer in the area.

Second the La Rochelle/Royan area. It has a bit of a micro climate so gets quite A lot of sunshine days a year.

I don't know if the S.W. of France is far enough South for you, but I know there are Bridge clubs in La Rochelle and Royan.

Sounds like a great adventure!

"Go reddevil3 go.

Bonjour!
Have you had a look at French Entrée or Anglo Info?
I'm sure you would find the Bridge info you want there.

And for my twopenny worth, have a look at Cavalaire sur Mer, it could be just your cup of tea, or glass of rosé!

Thanks cornergran, your comment has bolstered me up as I was beginning to think it was a potty idea!

Cant provide advice but just want to say wow, good for you, go and enjoy it all.

I know there is a bridge club in a small town a few miles from me - in Lot and Garonne.
