So how about a lovely supportive, information sharing thread for us mumsnetters living in France?
I've been here for two years, this is my second time living here so 4 years in total.
I have my moans about France, the paperwork, the driving but other than that I love it

Aw, thank you for the tip! Will have a look :)

How are things for those of you (non-French) living in France ? What do your French friends and neighbours think about it all ?

I am gutted by the result of the Referendum. I'm still hoping that things won't change too much for everyone. My plan of moving over to France (part/full time) is looking less likely now.

Everyone I've spoken to is completely gobsmacked at the utter stupidity of the outcome. Time will tell whether it has a scary knock-on effect on the elections here...

I agree! The UK looks like a total basket case right now and our friends, colleagues and acquaintances in France are stunned. The result, and the very unedifying personalities that have come to everyone's attention, are at odds with the traditional perception of British mores.

Back when Sarkozy stopped/restricted health cover for non-actifs in France, we had to get a letter from DWP in Newcastle saying that we had no rights to healthcare in the UK - except for EHIC-based emergency care.

Drinks you're welcome to buy our house in the Corrèze - 1300 sq m of land, 100m² of cellars, 5 bedrooms, shower room, bathroom, 4-oven aga.

2/3 of the land is south-facing rear garden, and there is a building that would be perfect for a pool-house.

It's too big for us, and now dd's left home, we need to move.

We're near the A20, and about 40mins from both Bellegarde and Souillac airports.

PM me, if you want to know more!
