As many of you know, I am quite the Francophile - except oh! My French is not too good. And I have the bucket list thing about living in Paris, or at least someplace in France. I pore over the new listings that come each day from Properstar, the Euopean equivalent of an MLS but with bad photos (usually) and crazy high prices in Paris. But the Dordogne region is different. It has really cute little cities, great markets and food, and adorable houses that are really affordable.
So, I went on another site put together by the French immigration authorities to find out how one goes about moving to France for longer than my visa would allow me to stay. And it appears that what I really need is a marriage of some sort to an age appropriate, flirt-worthy Frenchman to get almost any kind of permanent residency card. Hmmmm. I wonder if Match.com has a French version!
So I was going through my photos this afternoon, and I found the shot, snapped in the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris. This adorable pair had to be in their 90's, and the looked like they were still really into one another. Or maybe she, until recently, was a Realtor in some major US market, and only last year, he swept her off her feet and into the City of LIghts.
Sadly, France, like most countries on the planet, won't let Americans in right now. But I feel pretty optimistic that Fauci is going to bring us a safe and effective vaccine early next year, just in time for my birthday trip in April.
In the meantime, stay safe out there!
