After a long time thinking about it,we are finally taking the plunge and hoping to move to France later this year. However the exitement is tinged with not a little fear. My french is reasonable for day to day activities but my husbands is virtually non-existant . Does anyone have suggestions about how to organise the practicalities of the move e.g. reconnecting utilities,sorting out getting registered for tax (both income tax and local taxes)Can you recommend a good step by step guide (I have the usuall-living and working in France/Buying a House in France ect) We expect that we will be moving to the north dordogne region maybe in the Perigueux/Brantome area. Any useful contact or organisations in that area would be welcome.Have you foung that officials are helpful and understanding of your faltering efforts at their language?Any advice is gratefully recieved.
