My wife & I own a 200 year old house with barns & orchard in Western France. One of our barns is open & has been used for vehicle parking it is accessed over land that previously belonged to our property but was sold by the former owner  to a french farmer several years ago. Access was never a problem & he recognised that access to the barn was historic. He has recently sold the land to a Brit. Our Notaire confirms that we have an established right of way although nothing exists on the legal documents. The new Brit owners have emailed & confirmed to us that our right of way will be respected but rumours in the village have been rife for some while that they intent to erect a wall to prevent our access.Yesterday a temporary barrier was erected to allow the erection of a wall. We live in the UK but I have today emailed & phoned the Notaire & emailed the Brits but so far I have not had any response. Can anyone advise me on the best course of action, can a notice be served by me, the Notaire or French Lawyer to stop the works until the matter is resolved?

I currently visit dept 79 (Deux Sevres) 6 times a year with my dog. The vets we use in Chef Boutonne charge e63 each time we vist to get her signed off for the return trip. This seems expensive to me so does anyone have any alternaive vets/prices?

Hi all This is my first forum message so hopefully it works OK. My question is does anyone have any advice on which service to go for for phone & internet. We currently have a landline with French telecom but as we are now spending up to eight weeks a year in France (79) I need to hace access to the internet mostly for emails as I run my own business & I need to keep in contact while I am away. Any recommendations?
