"It’s very important to us both that we become residents of France, not tourists dropping in ..."
My heart felt your soul's reach in that one phrase, a desire to not just "be" but "become".
Our prayers are with you as you sojourn through countryside and community. Where the heart is meant to be, the heart will land. You will know with everything inside of you that home has called to you when you pull up and step inside the place that has been waiting its lifetime for you just as much as you are only now TRULY discovering you have been waiting for it.
I have always had this sense of cell memory. Each ancestor before us carries forward not only in our features, demeanour, tenore and innate skill, but also in our memories. Places we've never stepped foot into the doorway of or lands we have never felt the soil of beneath our feet before ... somehow they call to us not in desire and appreciation, admiration alone. Somehow we know within our very being that we were meant to be there, that it has been home before and it has been calling. "France feels like home."
Find your way, taste the delicacies, touch the walls and survey the sun set across the land or surrounding homes. Your heart will cry with the satiation of a homesickness you never knew you could possess for a piece of soil or brick you don't remember seeing before in this lifetime. You will know. And when you know, take an image of your smile as you lean against the door jam, for this ... this will be the future location of your writer's destiny.
With love and calm for all you are, all you've ever been and all you are about to come,

Ps deep respect for your wisdom in looking forward to the scientific evidence of what's to change in each location, what adjustments in the Earth will determine comfort versus physical agony, burden and sorrow. On that note, may I ask that you fill us in, as well, during your travels and searches, on each community and areas approach to global preservation. Reduction in waste, repurposing of supplies, recycling and composting of residuals. Modes of transportation from man powered (bicycles, walking) to public transportation (buses, underground, ride sharing) and finally to their transition to electric vehicles and more Earth friendly methods of home heating. Another vision I'd love to hear note of is the support of local markets, both food and clothing, locally sourced home supplies and the reduction primarily in the visibility of single use plastic packaging. I'd be quite interested in your take from a set of eyes new as a resident coming recently from another country with a more vast and contrasting range of extremes and opinions, efforts and future prospects being put into action.
