Lara Norris, from London
Lara Norris left London with her husband to settle in Normandy. It was a long held dream since the age of eleven! The move to Normandy has been a very positive lifestyle change and, in reality, it was much easier than they thought. For Lara and her husband, Normandy quite simply offers a better quality of life. Lara has just one regret : “that I didn’t do it when my children were younger”.
Eleri Maitland, from Wales
Eleri Maitland is Welsh and she decided to move to Normandy, with her husband, in 1992. They created a successful French Language school in Rouen.
