Hey,

I am looking at moving to the South of France by myself (young woman from London) and am choosing between: Nice, Bordeaux, Montpeillier and Toulouse. I want to move and settle for life, my main concern is making friends/ lonliness. In this regard, which is the easiest city to move to?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Although I can't say much about the south as I live in the North.

What I can say is if you haven't already done so, practice your french as it will go a long way to integrating and encourage engagement with others.
