Il y a un sujet peu ou pas abordé sur ce site : les destinations (pas forcément à la mode) où tous paramètres confondus, on vit une retraite heureuse en "happy few".
Alors c'est peut-être utile d'ouvrir le débat...
Destinations retraites heureuses pour "happy few"?
by Wayfarer75
This discussion is in French, the community’s main language.
Bonjour,
Vaste sujet !! Cela depend de ce que tu appelles une "retraite heureuse". Personnellement, je me vois mal vivre ma retraite en dehors de l'Europe ou j'ai mes reperes, mes amis, ma famille etc... Bien sur, j'aime voyager mais il y a un monde de difference entre partir pour six semaines ou meme six mois et poser ses racines. Ensuite, cela depend de chaque personne. Une personne se sentira tres heureuse avec un minimum vital par mois, d'autres ont besoin de beaucoup plus de comfort. Donc je crois que de toutes manieres, c'est uniquement des reponses individuelles que tu va recevoir. Il n'y a pas de recette miracle pour avoir une "retraite heureuse", de la meme maniere qu'il n'y a pas de recette miracle pour une "vie heureuse". "Tout parametres confondus!!".... tout le monde n'aime pas la plage et les cocotiers tous les jours pendans 6 mois !

Sans vouloir vexer personne, ta question est peut-être trop pointue pour avoir des réponses pertinentes sur ce forum, vu le niveau moyen de connaissances des intervenants, tu devrais plutôt t'orienter vers des blogs privés à accès restraint, en percourrant le Net, ça se trouve, mais il faut être perspicace. Bonne route.

C'est quoi une retraite ???
pour ma part je ne pense pas que les "Happy few", très privilégiés, et en nombre restreint par définition , fréquentent beaucoup VF , mais surtout changent de beaucoup leurs habitudes nomades, Gstaad, Marbella, Praslin, Festival de .., Grand prix de ... etc ... etc ... et décident de poser leur malla Vuitton hors de portée des autres "Happy few".

De mon point de vue, c'est la suite logique de ce qui a precede, seul le prix des jouets change, et les raideurs se deplacent ! 😛 😉

Réponse pertinente : un classement, un site web à consulter, pas de bla-bla, et pas de raccollage commercial (ou copinage) déguisé non plus pour destination(s) à la mode.
la hauteur de vos connaissances supérieures m'épate.... vos réponses sont d'une pertinence trollesque ! Que c'est vrai nous ne pouvons traduire ni comprendre tant celles ci s'accomoderaient d'une intégrale pour en expliquer les relents... En Anglais ou Espagnol.
soyons sérieux vous parlez devant votre miroir surement pour vous y voir conter vos inepties....
Pour le bla-bla...commentes le classement si ça peut te faire plaisir...
Pour ce qui est du copinage, je ne suis pas retraité (et loin de l'être) et je n'ai aucun intérêts financiers (ou autre type d'intérêts d'ailleurs) dans aucune des destinations sur la liste.
Prends ta retraite où tu veux.. ça ne n'empêchera pas de dormir

Tu as mal compris le message puisque c'était un compliment destiné à ta réponse!
J'ai effectivement pris votre réponse "de façon négative" et donc dans le mauvais sens...
désolé!😄
désolé!😄
Mada a son charme pour les francophones mais pour les connaisseurs exigeants sur certains critères, ça reste une destination bas de gamme pour y prendre sa retraite, d'où son absence dans le Top 10 du classement en question; mais tant mieux si tu y vis heureux , sans déception ou sans drame comme tant d'autres vasahas avant toi.
Ok pas de problème, bonne continuation.
ah et c'est quoi ces critères ? j'en suis curieux...
je peux si je veux vivre aux seychelles, a <Maurice, Au Canada, dont j'ai la nationalité aussi, ou en polynésie ou j'ai passé 7 ans de ma vie.
je passe beaucoup de temps a Madagascar parce que j'aime, mais je garde mes biens ici en France, et je peux prendre l'avion si ça me plait pour l'autre bout du monde pour y passer des vacances...
si tes critères sont liés aux moyens, t'as tout faux, ensuite un top 10 c'est bien à la TV ça fait vendre...
ça reste une destination bas de gamme pour y prendre sa retraite, ah bon, pas pour moi ... Au fait tu achetes des chaussures pour leur marque ou pour le confort.... c'est quoi "bas de gamme" ??

pour qui a connu la grande île sous la 1ère république, il va de soi que c'est devenu, au travers des régimes anti-français (quoi qu'ils en disent) un pays délabré, et dangereux à divers points de vue, et moi je n'y retournerai pas de si tôt, d'autant plus qu'à part nosy bé et sainte-marie, les côtes sont plutôt inhospitalières, d'ailleurs les malgaches que je fréquente en france me disent que c'est devenu une destination pour vasahas traine-savate ou magouilleurs mais pas pour les gens bien...
alors par rapport à la question initiale, madagascar est hors sujet, inutile d'insister.
j'ai connu aussi la 1ere et toutes les autres, et ce que vous dites est faux, archi faux, je vis sur la cote est en partie, Tamatave et Mananara, je ne suis pas un traine savate ni un magouilleur, vous etes un comique... parce que vous parlez sans connaitre, ensuite que des malgaches vivant en France dénigrent leur pays est courant, ils sont comme les saules, pleureurs... et jaloux... Et comme j'en vois aussi de ceux là lorsqu'ils viennent en vacances là bas, ils jouent les "gasy vola" et traitent mal les autres, Ils deviennent alors des "gasy ratsy"... alors que bien souvent ici, ils bénéficient d'aides sociales, (j'en connais)...... nous ne fréquentons pas les mêmes, .....ceux que je fréquente y vont souvent, et ne sont pas du meme avis, c'est une question de valeur.
la vôtre est restée a la 1ere république, et depuis le temps, elle est vermoulue.
et puisque vous considérez en n'y allant pas que vous faites partie des gens "bien", surtout restez ou vous êtes, la pollution ne se déplacera pas dans ce beau pays.

Madagascar, ça te convient et tu utilises VF pour en faire la publicité à chacun de tes messages, et inscrire des sites web sous chacun de tes messages, mais sois réaliste : le fait que ce soit aparemment bien pour toi perso, ne signifie pas forcément que c'est une destination idéale pour seniors qui voudraient de nos jours y prendre leur retraite.

c'est quoi le top 10 on choisit le lieu de sa retraite sur catalogue ? je suis mort de rire....
Madagascar, ça te convient et tu utilises VF pour en faire la publicité à chacun de tes messages, et inscrire des sites web sous chacun de tes messages, ^ non, le premier site est simplement un blog perso, ma maison a Mananara, bientot il y aura celle de Tamatave... l'autre est le site d'un de mes amis... .mais sois réaliste : le fait que ce soit aparemment bien pour toi perso, ne signifie pas forcément que c'est une destination idéale pour seniors qui voudraient de nos jours y prendre leur retraite. j'en connais beaucoup qui y sont heureux et y trouvent leur "idéal" dont certains sur ce forum, mais je leur laisse la plume...Ils le diront eux meme. Ensuite, le mot "Idéal" est un peu galvaudé, y aurait il un catalogue pour cela ? chacun a le sien et apres plusieurs visites ou séjours, on peut décider d'y vivre heureux. chacun a ses critères et ... Ses moyens, voilà, côté moyens , j'ai déja répondu, si c'est cela ton idéal, bof ! j'ai vécu en des endroits plus cossus, Canada, US, Polynésie, et c'est Mada que j'ai choisi, ah ah tu vas me dire : - Mauvais choix ? sous quel critère ? tu n'as pas répondu......
et Entre nous , ceux qui partent au Maroc achetent un riad, et qui croient a l'eldorado, ne sont pas mieux lotis, ni plus mal, si c'est eux qui ont choisi. perso, j'aimerais pas....

Fort Lauderdale, Floride. 😏

Effectivement la Floride c'est pas mal, surtout si on maîtrise bien l'Anglais.
Ceux qui ont choisi le maroc apprécierons : ce qui est certain c'est qu'il n'y a pas photo entre un riad et les paillotes primitives que tu nous as montré...
oui, mais j'ai les moyens de mes envies, la paillote que j'ai a Tamatave fait 300 m², en dur (ancienne coloniale) et celle que j'ai a Toulouse est bien aussi, tu as un riad ?
J'ai un château ...en Espagne :-))
C'est un pays en devenir en devenir, et interessant pour qui parle bien l'Anglais.
je vois, avant de dire quelque chose, il faut avoir quelque chose a montrer, sinon ce sont des paroles en l'air, , joyeux rêves :!!
J'ai aussi un oncle...en Amérique qui a une cabane...au Canada :-))

Hi everyone,
I’ve got a job offer in Cebu and I’m currently negotiating the financial terms...
For those of you who are experienced or expats there, could someone help me evaluate the cost of living so I can get an idea of my monthly budget?
- Rent for an apartment or small house (2 people) - Miscellaneous expenses: utilities, electricity, phone, internet, insurance - Local taxes or fees?
Thanks for your help, tips, and experiences!

Hi,
I’m leaving on September 4th for Vancouver as a tourist for 6 months.
My boyfriend works there, so I’m going to visit him. I’d like to take the opportunity to learn English at a school during October and November.
Could you recommend any schools—price, activities, location, reputation, etc.?
Also, any good health insurance suggestions?

Hi! I’m 76 and have traveled a lot in my life, and now I’m looking to settle in Réunion.
I’ve seen a retirement community in Saint-Pierre (Ravine des Cabris) and a residence called Village d’Or in Sainte-Clotilde. I have a feeling that living in Saint-Joseph might be better. I’ve submitted both applications and would love your thoughts—also if you know of any friendly small residences for rent, or if you have experience living there.
My pension is 1,460 €.
Thanks so much for your help! Looking forward to hearing from you—warm regards to everyone

After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.
My slogan: To be visibly useful to society
You’ve got to dare, even if it makes you tremble.

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’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!
Cheers,

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 there,
I’ve been living in Bali for a month now, but unfortunately on a VOA visa. I’m looking for a European company that’s set up in Indonesia.

You can send me a message.

Hi there,
I’d love to go to Japan to travel, and if things go well, work there too. Has anyone tried finding a job there? Is it even possible without speaking Japanese? I’m thinking of starting out in restaurants (dishwashing or serving) and then moving into my field, IT.

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! ☺️

I'm looking for an au pair who'd like to come to Bournemouth in the south of England, and I'd love to know what the best websites are to find one, please.
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?
Thanks in advance for your replies!

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! 😄
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! :)
