Partir vivre dans le Var: dilemme
by Mariadelalun
This discussion is in French, the community’s main language.
Original post
Passionnée par cette région, investie au plus profond de moi par ce que celle-ci dégage, je remets ma vie professionnelle en doute ici dans ma région natale, la Normandie.
Le dilemne d'un emploi tant espéré après des sacrifices mais dans une région où je ne me sens que de passage ou une région où je me lève avec un énorme sourire le matin?
Certes en disant la phrase tout parait simple mais la crise n'aide pas à trouver un emploi...
J'ai besoin de vous je l'avoue.
J'accueille toutes les aides dans cette quête : vos conseils, vos expériences pour ceux qui ont fait de même, vos envies si quelqu'un part également, vos photos...
Merci à vous tous.
Merci à vous tous.

Bonjour,
De quoi à tu peurs? Le sud est pas mal. Tu es sure d'avoir du beau temps et une mer d'un bleu azur. Et puis ce n'est pas si loin que ça la Normandie : tu es toujours en France...
Moi, je pars de France pour l'Australie et là je peux avoir quelques appréhensions😐 Pas possible de rentrer pour un week-end. J'ai le décalage horaire pour appeler...(8h) Je quitte famille, amies et pays pour rejoindre mon ami....et sans boulot...et dans une autre langue🤪
ça te tente?
Bon courage Pascaline

Bonjour,
Je vis dans le Var depuis 8 ans. Avant j'ai vécu de nombreuses années en région parisienne et depuis l'enfance je révais de plage et de ciel bleu. De ce côté là, pas de problème, c'est formidable : le soleil toute l'année, j'habite à 100 m de la plage dans un cadre magnifique à Six-Fours-les-plages. Côté boulot, je me suis toujours débrouillée et depuis 6 ans j'ai un travail dans lequel je me plais vraiment bien. Mais c'est tout : les relations humaines sont très, très, très superficielles. En 8 ans, pas d'amis : c'est la première fois que je vis un truc pareil. Je songe de plus en plus à partir dans un endroit où je pourrai trouver un peu plus de chaleur humaine et d'autres valeur. Voilà ce qu'il en est de ma propre expérience.

bonjour a toi
et oui helas la cote varoise est devenu le bronze cul de l europe lol
on n y trouve presque plus de vrais et autentiques provencaux c est un vaste melange de gens venus de tous horizons
retraites , militaires , gens venus travailler au soleil, parisiens en vacance....ect
aussi oui il est difficile de se faire des amis .Mais il ne faut surtout pas dire que les provençaux ne sont pas chaleureux
car deja il faudrait que tu tombes sur des vrais.
je suis moi meme a cote de six fours .Il faut se meler a la foule pour se faire des amis tu as une foule d activites , de club
et autres activites.il faut aussi aller au marche et parler aux gens et non aller au super marche.
le vrai six fours se trouve en centre ville pas pres des plages mais il faut savoir le decouvrir.
c est a toi a t integrer et a choisir tes amis pas a nous a faire l effort
cordialement a toi😉😎 un vrai provencal

Bonjour,
En fait je ne pensais pas particulièrement aux provençaux lorsque je parlais du manque de chaleur humaine, etc... mais des habitants en général et de l'ambiance.
Et aussi de moi, car pas vraiment doué pour aller à la rencontre des autres, bien qu'étant très ouverte.
Alors je vais prendre le taureau par les cornes et essayer de m'inscrire dans un club à la rentrée et puis on verra bien...
Bye, bye.
Bonjour,
moi aussi j'ai le projet de partir vivre du côté de six fours, mar vivo (j'y ai de la famille). Mariée, 2 enfants, bonne situation professionnelle dans la banlieue parisienne on hésite à franchir le cap.
C'est vrai que la vie au soleil, en bord de mer : c'est notre rêve !!
Mais il faut voir aussi les à côtés.
Il est vrai que côté boulot : le marché est plutot difficile !!
Et j'ai souvent entendu les memes remarques que toi sur "ces fausses amitiés"....
Etant restée 8 ans dans cette région, la région parisienne te manque-t-elle un peu ?
As-tu regretté ou est-ce que la vie parisienne c'est totalement plus possible pour toi maitenant ??
Apparamment tu as éradiqué le problème ! tu es parti très loin...
non simplement retourner au berçai .. ou je dois reconnaître la vie est totalement différente .. le var est une très très belle région .. mais en ce qui concerne les relations humaines .. je crois que les gens du nord sont bien plus sympathiques ......

Bonsoir,
La région parisienne ne me manque pas du tout et effectivemment il est hors de question que j'y retourne. Je ne pourrai plus m'adapter !
Même si le marché côté boulot, représente moins d'opportunités qu'en RP, il suffit comme de partout de faire preuve de motivation et de persévérance, car du travail ici aussi il y en a. Je ne suis jamais resté plus de quelques jours sans emploi depuis mon arrivée dans le Var.
Et tu peux aussi envisager de travailler à Marseille si besoin.
Pour le reste, c'est pas évident de s'adapter, enfin pour moi. Ce sera déjà peut-être plus facile pour toi si tu as de la famille déjà installée dans la région.
Bonjour,
Merci pour ta réponse. C'est motivant de voir que tu as toujours trouvé du boulot. j'ai consulté les offres d'emploi pour me donner une idée et voir les postes qui étaient le plus recherchés et les salaires proposés. En effet, un comptable a de grandes chances de trouver rapidement un emploi mais en ce qui concerne l'assistanat, le secrétariat, la télévente, ... c'est un peu plus difficile avec des salaires au SMIC => toi qui es sur place tu me le confirme ??
C'est vrai qu'au niveau salaire, beaucoup démarre au SMIC mais encore une fois pas tous et en fonction de ton expérience tu peux toujours espérer plus.
Avant d'être embauché en CDI, j'ai fais plusieurs CDD ou remplacement et sur 5 postes occupés 2 étaient rémunérés au SMIC.
Actuellement, j'occupe un poste d'assistante dans un cabinet conseil en entreprises à Toulon et je n'ai pas été embauché au SMIC. Mais c'est vrai que tu ne trouveras pas les mêmes salaires qu'à Paris...sauf si tu travailles à Monaco et que tu vis à proximité tu pourras trouver un équivalent voir plus.
oui , c'est vrai que l'on est bien conscient de pas retrouver nos salaires actuels !! mais tu me rassures quand meme en me disant que certains postes sont quand même rémunérés plus que le SMIC. Parce que les loyers ne sont pas beaucoup moins cher que la RP. Je crois que l'on se pose trop de question (lol). Toi qui a vécu sur Paris, de vivre là-bas tu dois te sentir plus sereine, moins stressée !! Le plus dur c'est vraiement de franchir le pas, je pense qu'une fois sur place, une fois installé "dans son chez soi" on prend doucement ses marques... et on oublie vite notre vie parisienne.
J'accueille toutes les aides dans cette quête : vos conseils, vos expériences pour ceux qui ont fait de même, vos envies si quelqu'un part également, vos photos...
Merci à vous tous.
trouver un emploi dans le Var est assez difficile j'en sais quelque chose.. le département vit essentiellement du tourisme et de l'Arsenal de Toulon , du Régiment d'Infanterie de Marine de Fréjus..( je ne sais pas s'il existe encore) A part cela il y a quelques PME mais au potentiel économique limité. Le taux de chômage dans le département est plus élevé que la moyenne. La fermeture de plusieurs chantiers navals à la Seyne-sur-Mer et la Ciotat cela a vraiment fait du mal à l'économie locale.. sinon une possibilité c'est le commerce de détail. Il y a le centre Mayol à Toulon et puis la zone commerciale de Grand Var à la Valette. Donc quelqu'un qui a une expérience dans la vente peut éventuellement trouver un emploi dans ce domaine.

Hi everyone,
My name is Deborah, I’m French. I’m married and have two children. I’m a clinical psychologist specializing in psychotraumatology, and I’m also pursuing medical studies.
For some time now, I’ve been seriously considering moving to the United States. My long-term goal is to practice medicine in the U.S., with a particular interest in forensic pathology. I know the journey is demanding (USMLE, residency, fellowship, etc.), but I’m ready to commit to several years of hard work.
For now, I’m focused on building this project thoughtfully. I want to improve my English, better understand the American system, and connect with people who’ve already gone through this process or are living in the U.S.
I have a few questions:
- Are there any doctors or international students here who’ve successfully matched into a U.S. residency? - When did you start preparing for the USMLE? - What advice would you give to someone still in medical school? - Which states would you recommend for a future career in forensic pathology, with a good quality of life and good schools for kids? - Is it better to do an observership or a research fellowship before applying for residency? - What are, in your opinion, the pitfalls to avoid when planning such a project?
Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to respond. I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share!

Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?
Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

Hi everyone,
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant. In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there? Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on! Thanks for your feedback!!

Hi everyone!
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻
Thanks so much for your help and advice! ☺️

Hi everyone,
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?

Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

Hi,
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]

We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol

Hi! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
