I am returning to France this Fall for a 3 month period~as I am joining a small joint touring company in Provence
I will be there often with 3 month stays
throughout 2020 also. I'm thinking about purchasing a small used car for my stays. Any Ideas? Anyone done the same?
Thanks

Buying a car is not easy, and if you are going to be in cities not necessary. Parking is always an issue and public transport is usually excellent and inexpensive. If you will be in Nice the cost of going anywhere within a huge area is one Euro if you have a multi trip card. The cost of parking in the centre of Nice is around €27 euros a day. Hiring a car would be the way to go for the odd days when you may need one.

Ok
Thanks, for the reply
the village where I stay is rural
and so I guess I continue to rent a car
during my 3 month stay.

How much do they charge per day or week to rent a car there?

I have no idea, it is like everywhere else and depends on the location, the rental company and size of car. Our local supermarket rents cars very reasonably, but the big companies are expensive.
