AVF stands for Accueils des Villes Françaises (roughly translated ‘Home of French Cities’ From their website: The national network of Accueils des Villes Françaises “offers new residents and anyone looking for social connections friendly activities that allow them to discover their new environment and make new friends.”
They are particularly helpful as you meet newcomers, both French and English-speaking. Most branches provide a robust range of classes (including French) and activities, for an incredibly small annual membership fee (35 Euro?) Here’s their national website, which will connect you to the branch in the town you are looking at https://avf.asso.fr/
This category differs with each town. One town might have a large international industry (Bordeaux: aerospace) or govermental HQ (Strasbourg: EU) while others are simply perennial favorites for internationals (like Nice, or any nice spa town, like Jonzac or Bagnoles-de-l’Orne)
We feel that a large university is a marker of a town used to newcomers and at home with a range of cultures and ideas.
A town that attracts retirees is more likely to be safe, affordable,temperate in climate, offer good health care options and be welcoming

Biking is OK here. Since it is primarily walkable inside town, and the roads outside town lack shoulders and are windy, it’s OK biking, but not something especially appealing for true bicycle lovers.
Marilee Taussig: " I fell for this town about three minutes off the bus. If you are a sucker for dappled light, medieval architecture, great market days, and people watching while sipping rose in a cafe, Uzes will grab you. While it has many practical pluses and creature comforts, it's the pure beauty that casts the spell."
Deborah Bine: "As I entered the heart of the market, the Place aux Herbes. It was magical. Sellers with cheeses in refrigerated cases, more cheese in huge rounds on wooden blocks, fancy cheeses with flowers on top. Wine in bottles, wine samples in glasses, boxed wine. Season-ripe fruits and vegetables. Butchers, bakers — lavender soap makers... Women with straw hats and flowing scarves caught my eye as they breezed through the scene. Couples and families were gathering chairs at cafes to reserve the best seats for lunch...The sights took my breath away. That was the day I fell in love with Uzès. I swore to myself I would return...Three months later, I was living in Uzès.
A French Collection: Storybook perfect is how I describe the charming and ancient town of Uzès in southern France. Quaint cobbled streets, medieval garden in the centre of town, traditional town square and boutique art galleries all make Uzès one of my all time favourite French towns. Have you been to Uzès?
