Taunton is the venue for the next French Property Exhibition (3-5 November 2006), where you can plan or dream of your move to France - and by all accounts you will not be alone.
According to a survey recently carried out by ICM a third of British citizens say they would rather live in France than the United Kingdom.
"Of those aged under 50, one in five British citizens would have preferred to have been born in France rather than the United Kingdom and two out of five would be prepared to cross the Channel and set up home in France.
In their quest for a better life, the British are attracted by the wealth and diversity of France’s culture and of course her gastronomic tradition. Even when asked for their favourite breakfast, three fifths of those under 50 would opt for coffee and croissants rather than a full English.
Over the past decade, France has been captivating more and more people from across the Channel. Another reason for this fascination is the success some French celebrities have been having in Britain: the "Thierry" factor (Thierry Henry), films such as "Amélie Poulain" and "The Da Vinci Code" are contributing to this British passion for France."
