Discover Dordogne & Gironde

The Dordogne and Gironde are two departments offering an exceptional quality of life. Rolling vineyards, quiet countryside, medieval towns, lively markets and a warm southern climate make this area one of the most attractive places to live in France.

Many people choose to move here for the slower pace of life, the beautiful landscapes and the strong sense of community.

Whether you are planning a permanent relocation or spending part of the year here, the region has its own rhythm, its own customs and a way of life that is both welcoming and deeply rooted in French culture.

Settling here can be incredibly rewarding, but it also requires time and understanding. This is especially true when it comes to language.

French for Visas, Residency and Nationality

Settling in France also means learning the language in order to live independently, understand procedures and feel confident.

From 2026, French law requires a minimum level of French for certain administrative procedures:

• A2 level: 1-2 year residence permit

• B1 level: 10-year resident card

• B2 level: French nationality

I offer tailored French lessons, specifically designed for people settling in France or planning to stay long term. We focus on:

• everyday practical French

• useful administrative vocabulary

• speaking and listening skills

• building confidence for official interactions

Lessons are adapted to your level, pace and personal goals, in a calm and supportive learning environment.
