This week, we take a look at rural France and its development through the ages. Like in many other European nations, France saw a massive exodus towards its urban centres during the 19th and 20th centuries - a demographic shift that has had long-lasting effects. But the shift has also left rural France with several issues to deal with, such as education and technology, pushing many of these areas to now go on a charm offensive to try to attract the country’s so-called "neo-rural" population.

    Rural France looks VERY attractive to me. Imagine having access to everything France has to offer + a quiet corner of a picturesque medieval village. Telecommunications is key.

    I was pining for French rural life. But then I realized that I lived in western Massachusetts for four years and it resembles the German countryside quite well. I've never been to Vermont, but I'd imagine it's even more beautiful than western Massachusetts, with huge amounts of forests, the darling villages, the rustic covered bridges. So I already have beautiful countryside only 3 hours away from where I live. And no passports, visas, immigration and new language rigmarole to deal with. So...time to move to rural Vermont! :D

    That was an interesting story. It needs updating in the age of Covid19. I imagine more people have moved to the countryside to have more space to breathe.

    I’ve had to drive around Central France four or five times and it’s empty! Villages, buildings, houses all closed down. Catastrophic

    In Canada, virtually every village has at least one cell phone provider, and this is a huge country geographically. Why can't France adopt a similar practice? I live in a smaller town, and we have high speed internet comparable to any city (9,000 people).
