Research carried out by Montesquieu University in Bordeaux, south-west France, and presented to the Foreign Office says otherwise.
Marie-Martine Gervais-Aguer, the author of the study, said: “A lot of these people come from urbanised areas. They are looking for an authentic experience that fits in with their dreams. Freshly farmed food, the security of a tight-knit community – all of these things people associate with a typical French village that they feel no longer exists in Britain. There is a nostalgia for the way British villages used to be 50 years ago.”
