What do I need to know before retiring in Orleans?

"Before retiring in the French city of Orleans, expats should be prepared to learn the French language, or at least pick up some basics. Additionally, expats should research ideal locations to purchase or rent property and familiarise themselves with local laws and regulations. Additionally, it is important to research the cost of living in Orleans as well as healthcare and pension options for retirees. Finally, expats should take time to explore the city, discover its culture and make connections with the local people and expatriate community," commented one expat who made the move to Orleans, France, France.
