Sue, Bergerac, France

I fell in love with France at age 13 when in French class we read 'Lettres de mon Moulin' by Alphonse Daudet. I promised myself then that I'd move there one day! Several holidays later and with my second husband we fell in love with the Dordogne and bought a little house on a hill near to Bergerac. At first it was planned to be a holiday home but I was offered a job with an English language newspaper in SW France and so we moved permanently. What do we love about our life? Everything!
