Hi Margaret. I sent you an email a few days ago about your visit. Did you see it? If not, I'll send it again. It was telling you about the walk on 8th June etc. Looking forward to meeting you when you come to Pau.
Take a look on the Forum under APP for the explanation about Winifred Riddle. In short, I banned her from the site which is why you can't find the message. I don't think you would have wanted to anyway!
The only info I can come up with at the moment is that we definitely steered clear of the west of Pau as there is a large plant (gas I think) at Lacq and when the wind is in the Pau direction, it can get quite nauseous. If you choose the south of Pau, direction Gan and Oloron, the traffic can get quite heavy at times. Why don't you start a discussion on the forum and that way you might get the views of other members? Any sign of the granchild yet?
Hi Margaret. I will do some research on your questions and get back to you! We actually live 10 minutes from Soumoulou on the way to Tarbes. We are in a village setting so very quiet but that leaves us 30 minutes from the centre of Pau. It depends what you want. We wanted the peace of the countryside within striking distance of a big town and that's what we've got. We didn't want to live on a "lottisement" (housing estate) because everyone is too close to each other so we have loads of space with a spectacular view of the snow covered Pyrenees and an uninteruppted view of the countryside. Let me know where you think you might want to live and I'll try to help if I can.
Hi Margaret. Welcome to our Community page! You will find the Anglophones association very useful in helping you to settle in to life in France. We have almost 100 paid up members (23 euros a year for families) and most of us are able to help out with recommending doctors, dentists, reasonably priced French courses etc. Do keep in touch and I look forward to meeting you later in the year.
