Greeks are loud. I use to think my neighbours were fighting, but no, just talking… then I went to Italy. Southern Italy was next level loud (not so up north). Even louder than Greeks with no smiling - which didn’t feel good at first, but then you get use to it.
I’m so sorry to hear. How stressful for you. Have you tried U.K. and Netherlands? Both English speaking and easier to move to from France.
