Hi, Not sure that the situation of happy UK retirees in Dordogne is the best...parity Euros/Pound, rise of local taxes, lack of doctors aren't probably what they bet years ago. I suggest respectfully to not believe the Economist magazine stereotypes and check carefully if a local program couldn't be interesting in the case of a young entreprise .(tax exemption, cheap/shared office, etc...). (and may think beyond of the german spoken zone, respectfully again, that's Europe, all different !) (may be Sophie G in Paris can help a little)
