hat and shoe designer searching for artisan towns

Hi! I’m a hat and shoe designer who has been living in New York City for 7 years now. It’s been my deepest dream to move to France for the past 14 years. I grew up in Iceland and Japan mainly, and was born in Germany. I’m American, but I don’t feel American (if you know what I mean).

Here’s what I want to do. I am planning on living in France, starting this November for a trial period of 3 months. I really don’t want to live in Paris, for all the reasons that I can’t stand New York City anymore: pollution, overcrowding, high cost of living. I feel that I must, though, to build my own business. Do I really have to, though?

interested in meeting people from France

I am interested in meeting people who live in France. I would like to make friends via email with interested folks, and invite them to come and see me when they visit America. Several of my friends are thinking about doing this.

I live in Memphis, Tennessee, about 10 miles from Graceland. I don’t really know very much about France, but it seems like culture and manner are important to them. I want to learn more about the place, and possibly visit next year. I have a lot of questions about french culture, and what is important to french people in their lives.

thanks for any who will respond…

I am interested in moving to Paris

My girl and myself would like to relocate to Paris. I have a vast medical history and require expensive medications. What is healthcare and insurance in France like? Is healthcare a government issue or is it acquired mostly through employment? Any help is appreciated. Also, how is the economic climate in Paris? I currently live outside Washington, DC. Are living expenses similiar to those in the USA?

Napoleon?

Hello I just finished a book on Napoleon Bonaparte and i found him to be a truely great man. I was wondering what attitude French people have towards him. I have heard him coined "the first anti-christ" which I think is ridiculous and he has been accused of war mongering. These acusations to anyone educated about him are untrue. Is he a French national hero?

Places to go with a kid

I am going to Paris with my husband and my eight year old granddaughter on October 2 and we are staying by EuroDisney. We are going to EuroDisney. Is it a good idea to rent a car? We plan on taking the RER to Paris. What are the other places in Paris can I take my granddaughter? How is driving outside of Paris? Is it the same as in US? We were in Paris in May and we saw the driving in Paris and it was scary. I am a little nervous this time because we are on our own in this Paris trip.

French Cars?

Hi there, I’m a Driving Instructer from California, and in order to make my classes a little more interesting I do this little game with my students. I was wondering if SOMEONE could tell me what cars that the French people make. I know about Peuget and Renault, but what others are there?
Thank you for your help…
