You’ve dreamed it for a long time. Now, you are ready to get serious.
Dreaming is good. However, now you are ready to go beyond just knowing you love the idea. We can help you get unstuck. We can help you look before you leap.
This ‘try-it-out-trip’ is three weeks long. Our pilot session begins September 20th – October 11th 2026 and availability is already limited!
A Life in France™ is designed to be something quite different than a vacation. We want you to have the experience that helps you evaluate whether a retirement in France is for you. You try a life on — like trying on a piece of clothing in store before you buy it.
Dreaming is great. Doing the dream – that’s a different skill set. We can help you discover a path past the dream and into A Life in France™ We have designed this trip to be the first step in beginning to belong.
