What do people like (and dislike) about Bordeaux?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Bordeaux, they replied...
"the French think of most Americans a rich and easy prey. I am in a situation that requires the need to maintain my property and at the same time try and enjoy the country side. I never have time to enjoy the country side, there is always a need for repairing or redoing something on the houses or property. Many neighbors are not really friendly and ignore me. The ones I have befriended eventually go their own way once I turn them down for favors they ask me to do. Many times I have offered dinner at home, but am never taken up on the offer. I suspect with the Covid-19 virus, I will have to start thinking about selling. France is so far behind in vaccinating people it will be maybe another year before I can go to France. I have friends stuck in Italy now, been one year and now Italy is suffering another set back. WHO has done a lousy job of working to end to reduce the spread of this virus. I think Europe has a long way to go, to be united in fighting during a Pandemic," explained one expat living in Bordeaux, France.
