Very flexible schedule from late June.

I would love to get back to Turkiye, but wondering about Istanbul this season (riots, political unrest), so perhaps other cities. My main objective is to buy a house in France and make the big move, but if the stock market doesn’t turn around, I won’t be able to. Time will tell.

    Pat, just saw some lovely listings in Dole, France. Ever heard of the town….eastern France.
    Diana says you got the Visa! Congrats!

      Oh, send me links! maybe email? Have never been but had recently seen one possible ad. It’s 30-45 min from Dijon, under an hour to Beaune, 2-2.5 to Geneva. Haven’t checked to see what service there is at the nearby regional airport. Lyon is more like 3 hours. I am rather leaning towards the center or west-central region but have enjoyed roaming Burgundy and that is my favorite regional cuisine!
