We are still early in our exploration.  We have made multiple short trips to Paris, Nice, Lyon, Bordeaux, Aix en Provence and Montpellier. since 2022.  We hope to have longer stays in the future, perhaps 3 months at a time, possibly longer depending on visa restrictions.  of course, that can get a little complicated.  for now since we have older parents, we aren’t planning for any long-term stays.
