Try to enjoy that wonderful experience in rural France, without a car.

I had such joy during two years, close to the French Alps.

Tourist visits isn't the same as living deeply into the country.

Yeah in rural areas it's hard to justify building public transport. Villages can still have grocery stores though. But we were talking about cities here

I wasn't, as my point was about every kind of place, and plus there are plenty of cities on rural areas that are cities only on paper.
