From Elizabeth, France

Elizabeth, Puissalicon, France

Hello. I was struck by Puissalicon's charm, and the beauty of the area after visiting on a holiday. I moved here in 2015 after a long career in Cambridge. I wanted to speak better French and in a more natural setting, and with purpose. I retrained as an ESL teacher and I now teach Business English from my house, online. I love living here, There are no regrets. The result of the 2016 referendum was a sickening blow.
