My in laws live in what I would say is an ideal place. It's quiet. It gets snow. It's near (ish) to Puy de Dom.
However, it's really basic. And it's an hour from an airport. It's also an hour from the station which serves Paris. It's definitely not weekendable. @ChasnotRobert
Kids are the biggest factor for us. Without them we'd probably stay in the city, but once ours got to about 3yrs old it got less fun being here, I want more open space and less pollution for him.
