Sommières Market

Today we visited Peter a gentleman we have got to know through the Languedoc page website. We have found a wealth of useful information here and it has been our bible to guide us through the stages of moving to France.

The website has a good forum that covers many of the topics that crop up with the move, including everyday practical things like shopping, restaurants but also covers the more serious topics such as Tax and Health topics. If you need any information at all post a link on the forum and you are bound to get a lot of replies to your question, many of them like minded people who have covered that situation and can offer practical advice or help from experts who can give you a link to an official website with more details.

We met Peter in a bar at Sommières market, it was Easter weekend so the place was bustling with people from all around. The market was quite big and had lots of delicious smelling goodies on offer. We spent a while with Peter and his wife and a few of their friends sipping coffee and wine….it was so nice to put a name to a face as Peter had been really helpful to us on a number of topics.
