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

Girl in Florence: "not a large city by any means, we found the center to be charming and tranquil. Cassoulet restaurants cover the city, and the riverfront sets as a centerpiece with all sort of boats floating on their journey across this great canal."
Join us in France: "it is a medium city and quite a few English expats and a good standard of living. Maybe you should visit if you're looking for a place to settle in France that's not too expensive."
