    to visit? or to live?

    the countryside surrounding Paris, a beautiful small village(commune) south of Paris, Sceaux and Versailles.

    To visit or to live . . .but I guess if you have lived there, then your opinion carries more weight. Have you lived in France then?

    only for part of a summer. I loved it, will return. have you been to Paris?  I have a friend who lives in the city and another friend who has a home in Sceaux. If I were to live there, I would choose this charming, beautiful small village. by metro Paris is 20 minutes away.

    Yes, I've been to Paris but not for many years. Never been to Sceaux though . .it sounds idyllic, and just a stones throw from Paris too.

    idyllic is a nice way to describe it, flowers everywhere, the small round about is surrounded by flowers, the narrow cobblestone streets. everything is within walking distance, nice shops, cafes, bakeries, an amazing park which I have written about in my hub, Sitting in a Park Outside Paris. I am going to write more about my stay there as I think people like to read about lifestyles in other countries.

    sitting outside in the evening in my friends garden area, we would hear someone nearby playing the flute, the smell of someone cooking with garlic and potatoes, everything seemed to slow down. people enjoy the lifestyle and ease to get in and out of Paris.  smile
