Good morning Deborah, by searching internet for a long term rental in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, I find your website. I read about you and was surprised that you left South Carolina, specially Beaufort. Beaufort is my absolutely favorite place in USA and visited so many times. Last time in 2016. But after my divorce of 25 years marriage in 2016 and Corona, I find my new favorite place in south of France. I come since 2021 every month to Saintes-Maries. I’m from Germany. I have the opportunity working online in my job next. That will give me the opportunity living in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. I hope I can live my dream.
Thank you, I have passed your message along. You should check with the tourist office in Saintes-Maries de la Mer as they may have some ideas for long-term rentals.
