Hello, I like your website! I learned about it from an article in the Huffington Post. I am 55 and my stressful career as a finance person is fizzling. So I am thinking about retirement. I am thinking about buying a modest apartment in Aix, for the purpose of living there six months each year (the other six months in Los Angeles).
Would you say there are some nice neighborhoods, where I could perhaps spend a bit less than downtown Aix, but be able to walk or take the bus into town easily? Also, is there enough to do, or would I get bored? I speak French almost fluently. Can you get jobs there (I am an EU citizen, so a work permit is not a problem)? How did you arrange health insurance? Thanks for any suggestions and help!
Happy to see you ensconced again with beautiful Provencal sun and Devon looking so happy.

Thanks Gregory. It’s on hiatus til I get back to France this spring. But there’s lots of information there that’s still relevant to the traveler.
