"Well......have u got a car and how far are you prepared to commute ( distance and timewise) ?"

got a car - commute upto 70 minutes is no problem each way and the place MUST have a french community (bilingual or french only) for the missus/kids who do not speak German at all but are fully fluent in French

"If you state a little more detailed ( how many rooms,have u got kids,garage,overall cost you are prepared to pay) what you have in mind i can point you into a few directions....... as well as give you some more links ."

Let's see - 2 kids + wife, motorcycles (so must have at least a single closed garage), current budget is 3k but am willing to look higher if needed (lower is better for the same house), dog so need a garden and finally a single house is preferred but open to attached/farm houses/villas whatever is included in the search - just want best combo of location/price/house I can get.

"consider moving out to far-lying villages. But there is usually a compromise of more commute and less amenities, less public transport"

I don't intent to live in a city itself as I prefer a bit of leg room as a Canuck and the budget seems about right (upto 3k) but...there's just not very many houses (individual/attached/ex-farm whatever) listed on the websites I've found so far in or within 30 miles of Biel (I have a job offer in Zurich and Biel/Bienne seems the closest community that has french - please feel free to correct me if this info is wrong).
Of coures on the other side, some ammenities or at least access to them within reasonable distance is needed - so no sumit cottages that need a helicopter to access please
