Country life ‘ideal’ but...
One in four French people (81%) think country living is the “ideal life”, a new survey shows. This is despite 46% saying the top factor they link to it is “socio-economic difficulties”.
Those who actually live in the country cited “quality of life” and only 5% wanted to move.
All agreed that rural-dwellers were the most “abandoned” for public services. With the lack of jobs and transport, this puts many off moving to the country.
The poll of 1,000-plus people, run by the association Familles Rurales, says more use oftechnology for teleworking and telemedicine could help.
