Primroses And Fruit Blossoms…Springtime In Southern France

Béarn, France

“My garden is a mass of primroses, daffodils, violets, tulips, fruit blossoms, and camellias,” writes France Correspondent Lucy Culpepper from the Béarn region in the southwest of that country.

“In the distance, I can see a tractor plowing the deliciously rich, chocolate-brown soil in preparation for the coming maize season. A woodpecker is tapping away at a hollow tree in the woods behind the house, and a hoard of garden birds is busy chasing the emerging gnats to feed to their young.

“Spring has arrived in the Béarn!

“The distant Pyrenean ski resorts are all but closed and will be tidied up over the next month in preparation for walkers, cyclists, and water-sport enthusiasts. Our thoughts are turning away from the mountains toward the ocean and the beautiful Atlantic beaches; already surfers are braving the waves and the frigid water temperatures of the ‘hot’ surf spots on the Basque coastline.

“This weekend, we’ll be joining our neighbors at the villagevide grenier (which means ’empty attic’) to sell unwanted stuff that we have accumulated over the last year. Thevide grenier is an institution in France; it’s like a mass yard sale with food and drinks sold alongside and often includes an organized family walk or bicycle ride.

“One of the great attractions of the Béarn is that there is something for everyone to appreciate with every season…”

Reading Lucy’s note from southwest France this morning, I nearly ached with longing to be where she is right now. The truth is, from a pure quality of life point of view, nowhere on earth compares with France.

Lucy realized this after spending two years on the road in a focused search for the best place in the world to settle with her young family, and I’m delighted to say that Lucy will be bringing all her French Country Living experience with her when she joins us in Paris this July for our Live & Invest in France Conference.

Many other friends in this country will be joining us, as well, for a How To Make Your Dreams Of A New Life In France program that I’m keenly looking forward to.

More details soon. Meantime, you can get your name on the list for special pre-registration discounts here now.

Kathleen Peddicord

Kathleen Peddicord has covered the live, retire, and do business overseas beat for more than 30 years and is considered the world's foremost authority on these subjects. She has traveled to more than 75 countries, invested in real estate in 21, established businesses in 7, renovated historic properties in 6, and educated her children in 4.

Kathleen has moved children, staff, enterprises, household goods, and pets across three continents, from the East Coast of the United States to Waterford, Ireland... then to Paris, France... next to Panama City, where she has based her Live and Invest Overseas business. Most recently, Kathleen and her husband Lief Simon are dividing their time between Panama and Paris.

Kathleen was a partner with Agora Publishing’s International Living group for 23 years. In that capacity, she opened her first office overseas, in Waterford, Ireland, where she managed a staff of up to 30 employees for more than 10 years. Kathleen also opened, staffed, and operated International Living publishing and real estate marketing offices in Panama City, Panama; Granada, Nicaragua; Roatan, Honduras; San Miguel de Allende, Mexico; Quito, Ecuador; and Paris, France.

Kathleen moved on from her role with Agora in 2007 and launched her Live and Invest Overseas group in 2008. In the years since, she has built Live and Invest Overseas into a successful, recognized, and respected multi-million-dollar business that employs a staff of 35 in Panama City and dozens of writers and other resources around the world.

Kathleen has been quoted by The New York Times, Money magazine, MSNBC, Yahoo Finance, the AARP, and beyond. She has appeared often on radio and television (including Bloomberg and CNBC) and speaks regularly on topics to do with living, retiring, investing, and doing business around the world.

In addition to her own daily e-letter, the Overseas Opportunity Letter, with a circulation of more than 300,000 readers, Kathleen writes regularly for U.S. News & World Report and Forbes.

Her newest book, "How to Retire Overseas: Everything You Need to Know to Live Well (for Less) Abroad," published by Penguin Random House, is the culmination of decades of personal experience living and investing around the world.
