Available until 10/06/2025 Since Brexit, many Britons have left their island to try their luck in the southwest of France, particularly in Aquitaine. Butchers, craftsmen, B&B managers: all have plans thwarted by the administrative obstacles they face. Nicola and Graham Parker are among these English people eager to escape the economic crisis and the chaos of Brexit. Once their house was sold, they bought an old estate in Montignac-de-Lauzun. Like them, some 9,000 Britons live in Dordogne or in neighboring departments. But because of Brexit, settling in France is a real obstacle course: you have to apply for a residence permit, prove that you speak French well, pass integration tests, etc. In addition, the inhabitants of the region do not always look very favorably on these English people who are now part of the landscape.
