Essayez d'être juste dans votre rapport avec les êtres. Ce qui compte c’est d’être, et non pas d’avoir.
Pourquoi tant de pessimisme?
Peut être avez vous échoué dans vos tentatives? bref, un message un peu plus "intelligent" avec des arguments serait plus interessant. je suis d'origine indienne, et aprés échanges avec familles et amis su place, mon idée (que je ne peux détailler ici pour des raisons évidentes de discrétion) est bonne. déjà des propositions pour un local et tout ca en famille ;)
merci encore pour tes enocuragements😠

...Bonjour!.... J'ai le projet de monter un restaurant français à Pondicherry !.. snack? pourquoi pas mais à mon avis il y en a déja..pas tres bons d'ailleurs .(vingt ans d'expérience en Inde, dans le domaine du textile mais je connais très bien la restauration)
Je cherche des ou un partenaire .
Ce restaurant peut être jumelé avec une guesthouse ...
je ne parle pas Tamoul mais tres bien anglais (en fait je travaillais ds le Nord et je comprends .. et baragouine l'Indi)
Le projet est bon, incontestablement , tout le monde le dit(j'aurais du me décider en 2004..car les prix ont grimpés).Le bail commercial?pourquoi pas , mais à mon avis , c'est inutile..le mieux est la location ...et pas forçément en ville .
En 2009 pour 80m2 , TRES bien placé :mensuel 700€..(par agence :mais je ne suis pas contre le travail de l'agence et le tarif de la prestation n'est pas exagéré) ..donc , il faut faire du chiffre et c'est possible ..
Je suis tres bonne en déco (pas de frime, c'était mon job)et on peut faire beaucoup avec ..peu le tout est d'avoir l'idée de faire qc .de nouveau à Pondy..et de très bonne qualité.
Actuellement , je suis à Bordeaux 🙁...et ne repart qu'en Janvier prochain.
Oui !on peut bien sûr en discuter , je vous connaitrais mieux , je saurais ce que vous désirez.et vous aussi .bref , j'attends votre réponse 😎
Bonjour Frederique!
TOUTES MES EXCUSES pour ton message reste trop longtemps sans reponse. je suis certaine que ton projet a toute sa place dans les environs de Pondy. Surtout avec cette mane touristique toujours de plus en plus presente dans le coin. Paradoxalement jai peur que cette affluence estompe progressivement l'authenticite de cette belle et PAISIBLE ville. mais bon, il ya des avantages et des inconvenients a tout cela. je te remercie pour ta sollicitation. je suis sur Pondichery actuellement, et je suis d'autant plus seduite par une possible escale sur Pondy pour quelques annees😇😎 toutefois, je dois renflouer un peu mes comptes pour m'installer definitivement et demarrer plus confortablement mon projet. comment se passe ton projet de restauration? Jumele avec une guest house, cest te garantir une clientele constante, mais attention, les personnes de passage en guest house apprecient de dejeuner 'ailleurs' que sur les gites, mais pour des raisons pratiques, plutot a proximite des lieux de promenades. toutefois, le petit dejeuner est incontournable! SURTOUT a l'occidentale. bref, jespere que tu seras pas vexe de me lire que maintenant. si tu es actuellement sur Pondy, fais moi signe. 😉 une belle rencontre en perspective jen suis sure.

Navrée..mais je ne me souvient pas du message..oui, en tt cas, ce projet est toujours "d'actualité"mais je suis toujours en France..et nous comptons aller à Pondy vers Mars ou Avril , pour deux mois en Inde .. voir aussi ailleurs ..et , je l'avoue, ..passer aussi des vacances..
Si, le tourisme s'accentue au Tamil Nadu , en général..c'est aussi parceque le tourisme en Inde est en constante progression..Les français (peu voyageurs) s'enhardissent et compte tenu du rapport qualité, exotisme, et prix..cette destination offre un grand panel de choix..même à des familles avec enfants!alors..il faudra partager, c'est sûr, ces petits paradis.
Mais j'ai toujours travaillé comme saisonnière..et rien ne vaut d'habiter à l'année dans ces endroits..pour la qualité de vie et aussi les conditions de travail ! Dans ces conditions, on accède au statut de.."privilégié".
J'ai beaucoup travaillé dans le Nord pour le textile..et ce côté business et pollution était vraiment fatiguant..mais ce pays à toujours chez moi l'enthousiasme d'apprendre ..et d'entreprendre .😏😏😏😏
Jouxté à une guest..c'est une idée comme une autre , il s'agit de séduire dans tous les cas , par une formule unique ou vraiment différente de ce que l'on propose ailleurs..ou plus intérressante pour des familles..on apprécie parfois d'arrêter de bouger , le soir...mais trouver un joli petit "coin" alone en centre ville , pourquoi pas..
Les lodges ou "motels"en pleine campagne en font partie..le calme étant un "luxe" en Inde .
Voilà..QUELLE CHANCE d'être à Pondy..!mais quel sont tes projets exactement?une possible escale de quelques années..?
Pour moi, c'est un lieu plutôt unique en Inde et qui présente de nombreux avantages, avec une vie culturelle variée..qui ne coupe pas trop avec mon pays d'origine..donc la sensation d'expatriation est moins forte..et c'est "bon pour le moral"..Je me souvient de grosses déprimes à Jaïpur ou Dehli..mais aussi la possibilité d'avoir, sur place, les produits essentiels à la préparation de plats succulents , les fruits en abondance..les légumes , des fromages !..même des fleurs :le jasmin, les roses ..jouer avec les couleurs...
Vexée ?et pourquoi..?non, mais curieuse d'en savoir ..un peu plus ..
Nice to meet you CeliaAAA.. pour l'instant by mail only.
Frédérique
Salut c'est mon point de vue mais vaut mieux aller à Bangalore plutôt qu'à Pondichéry..
à Bangalore c'est l'équivalent de la Silicon Valley en Inde ce qui fait que tu as un tas d'ingénieur qui ont un bon pouvoir d'achat...sans compter les salariés qui bossent dans la hi-tech.
Je ne suis pas trop spécialiste de l'Inde mais Bangalore me semble être une bonne destination.
Tu y montes une crêperie à Bangalore ou bien de la nourriture fine française c'est bien apprécié des étrangers...
parce qu'un snack c'est pas très original.
Tu sais aussi bien que moi que dans les pays émergents il y a des tas de petits vendeurs ambulants
http://en.wikipedia.org/...Economy_of_Bangalore
c'est comme vendre des chasse-neige en Afrique il faut aller là où les opportunités de croissance sont les meilleures quitte à changer de région après

merci Frederique d'avoir repondu ;) COMME TU LE DIS SI BIEN, Pondy est encore un petit havre de paix qu'il faut apprendre a partager😉. je comprends egalement tes coups de deprime a dheli ou jaipur...la vie y est si trepidante, ect...enfin on se comprends....jai deja ete voir ailleurs En Inde, goa, delhi, Bombay, kerala, bangalore, Madurai et dautres villes... bein que ces sejours furent forts en emotions, rencontres, paysages ect...je me sens reprendre pied des que je reviens sur Pondichery. perso, je my retrouve, les rues, les gens, les odeurs, les chiens, les chats... LOL je retrouve mom deuxieme chez moi...
Matthew, tu nas pas tout faux au sujet de bangalore. Apres labas cest un autre visage de linde que japprecie moins. on se croirait presque a paris, question code vestimentaire, attitude ostentatoire genre regardez 'jai reussi, je gagne bien ma vie, et je porte du chanel et mange du goudar avec mon bordeaux...' bref ca mattire pas. Je prefere lauthenticite encore preserve de Pondy a Bangalore truffe de buldings...ah ca oui alors, je prefere les maisons de taule, ou de style coloniale bordant le rivage, et les sarees colores des ravissantes femmes de Pondy. et puis Bangalore cest aussi cher voir plus que Paris sur certains points 9logement, restauration, loisirs...) pour y investir aussi, vaut mieux avoir recu unm bon heritage ou un statut de privilegie ou au mieux etre un riche investisseur ou obtenir un bon pret a la banque pour demarrer un business labas. en effet, le marche est tres porteur labas mais linvestissement beaucoup plus lourd qua Pondy. Pondy se developpe vite! La jeunesse doree du Nord et notamment de Chennai et Bangalore sy donne rdv a chaque week end pour decompresser, et DEPENSER.

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).

If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?

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

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! 🥺🏻

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[;)!!!]

Hello everyone,
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! 😄

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!^^
Hello. We’re a couple with an 11-year-old daughter and we’re looking for a good deal on a bar and/or restaurant in the tourist areas of Playa del Carmen, Tulum, or Mérida. If anyone knows of one or is on the ground and can give us some great tips, we’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Safe travels.
