I would like to stay in France for about 6 months from approximately November 1st 2008 until May 1st 2009 on a faily limited budget I would like to stay in a one bedroom apartment with som cooking facilities, a shower and heating !!! It would need to be to the centre of a smallish town preferably in the Dordogne, Burgundy or South. My aim is to learn French and, if possible, to enjoy getting to know as much as possible about a local community, the local geography and the local culture. Have you any suggestions? Regards Patrick
