The south of France has always been a popular destination for expats moving abroad, with its rich culture and gorgeous weather.
An expat who moved from the United States to France shared his experience living abroad.
Jeff moved to the French city of Perpignan 10 months ago and spoke about how he adores it.
He said: "I love it. So far, it has been great; I don't have any real complaints. The people have been super friendly and you meet some English speakers too."

Perpignan not only has sunny skies and a rich history but also brilliant connections to major cities across Europe.
Jeff explained: "It's a two-hour train ride to Barcelona, and three or four hours to Marseilles, so it is very accessible."
One of the biggest differences he noticed from life in America is the quality of the food he eats.
He said: "Everything is practically organic. It's not damaged, and the food quality here is beyond belief. The pricing is very reasonable too."
When stocking up on supplies, the expat has been told that many people make the short journey over to Spain. Jeff stated: "I don't have any real need for it, but it's there just in case."
Before making the big decision to move overseas, it is important to learn some French, to "make everyday existence easier".
The expat learned some French while at school and college, which was helpful when encountering French locals.
He said: "As far as what I have encountered with the French, the vast majority have been so kind."

Another expat has named an Asian utopia as "one of the safest places" to live, but it does have its "challenges".
Speaking exclusively to GB News, the expat shared why he picked Thailand as his destination of choice.
He explained: "I’d been lucky enough to visit when I was younger and already knew how much I loved the country. I started looking into ways to stay, and now work [here] as a teacher."
One of the main appeals the expat noticed was how safe Thailand is. Sidney said: "It is one of the safest places I’ve lived. There’s very little violent crime, and I never feel uneasy walking around, even late at night."
