Hi Maddy, my family and I have been navigating a similar situation. My husband is also French. We currently live in New Orleans. We are looking at moving to either of 2 places: 1) Austin! or 2) Aix-en-Provence. I went to UT so Austin is familiar to me. Would love to chat more with you about your decision. We are in the pros and cons stage of our decision making. I haven't lived in Austin in many years so I'd love to hear more about it from your perspective. Good luck with the planning this Summer!
Hi Lauren! Thanks for your comment! 🤍So exciting that you all are planning a move, and I’d love to share some of my personal experiences if that would be helpful! I will reach out via message to chat personally, but here are a few quick thoughts:
I love Austin a lot! It’s my hometown so I’m a bit biased. However, I don’t feel it’s really aligned with our ideal lifestyle, as we’re looking for a more European way of life (walking vs. driving, ease of travel, high quality of food, etc.) Every place will always have its pros and cons, but for us it came down to what our priorities were and what we were willing to compromise on!
