French not impressed as Britons turn Dordogne into Little Britain naming it 'Dordognshire'

In particular, well-off Britons moved to take advantage of the stunning homes and estates.

However lots of people relocating to the same area has received mixed reactions from locals.

The region is already being called "Dordognshire" as if it were an English county.

An influx of Britons moved to the area, including a British couple who set up camp in 2015, ARTE.tv documentary 'Little Britain in the Dordogne' reported.

The couple Steve and Helen Robbins work at the local markets supplying British food such as bacon and sausages to those who work in the area.

The butchers make foods that are well loved in the UK using English butchering techniques.

The food is then sold at market. Near their stall, a local sells traditional French bread.

He explained that while he is happy to have the British neighbours, not everyone is as welcoming.

He said: "[There are] English shops, an English barber. You're often among the British in the shops here.

"Some people are happy about it, others lukewarm."

Another Brit living in the area explained some unpleasant experiences he had.

He said: "I went into the builder's merchant and I stood next to the materials I wanted... and basically pointed and told them I wanted 'deux' and the guy said 'non, non'. I just left."

Another French local shared his frustrations at Britons who can not speak the language. He said: "They learn French slowly.

"They would need more lessons but they keep to themselves. So we have to speak English or there is no sale."

This comes as a British expat shared what they miss about life in the UK.

If heading to France, Britons should keep a travel warning in mind.
