    Very true, this place is not for everybody. It can wear you down after holiday/retirement mode has worn off.

Also, the price of property is very reasonable, even a country cottage with a gite which would give you an income.....
    Years ago in another life we were going to buy a place in France, my daughter has a place there, and I do like the rural way of life.
    Who knows where any of us will be in a few years time, but I think France would cost me more per year to live in than the Phils, and with a small pension coming in, well I just cannot see myself living there.

    Yes, maybe would be cheaper to live in PI but don't think I could do it again....

    My brother has had a holiday home in France for years. Wish I was rich like him.

    Problem with France is ... ... they speak in French, which - even for people who've studied the language at school, college or wherever - is spoken at such a fast rate, that it's too difficult to follow!
