Thanks for replys! Gonna get on to FT today then and try my luck. The phone line runs just past our house about 3/4 meters away but the shorter line from our actual house to the main line (also supplying our 2 neighbours) has gone but as it's only 3ish meters can I pressume that is the amount of line I will be paying to have reconnected on top of the inital €55. Thanks again Mark and Mareike

Hi, a generalish question? We have a house in Creuse, Limousin, and are moving over pretty much permantly shortly. What we would like to do is arrange for a landline/internet connection to be set up almost immediatly when we arrive. The house is half way through being renovated by us and has in the past had a landline but not any more. Can I call the Orange/France Telecom English speaking helpline from here in the UK and get it all arranged on 0033 969 36 39 00 or is this just for existing customers? Also are there any alternatives to France Telecom? Finally, any idea of costs involved for initial set up??? Any advise/info very much appreciated. Mark and Mareike.

Thank you very much for the replies. I'm going to start looking into those links right now and will update the thread on any progress in the near future. Thanks again Mark.

Hello, we are possibly moving to France in the future from the UK and I currently own and fly a Harris and Gos. I just wondered if anyone may be able to confirm as to whether or not I will be able to take the birds with me? I totally understand that to hunt with raptors in France you need a permis de chasser (hunting licence) and of course I will be going for that and hopefully will acheive it but the test you have to do is a general hunting test and quite extensive, now that bit I can hopefully deal with but it is also in French and although I am currently learning the language I will probably not be up to scratch by the time we go and so not able to sit the test for between 6-12 months. My question is, will I be able to export my birds (obviously with all correct ownership and health certs etc) and keep them as an owner at least until I get my permis de chasser or can I not even keep them in France without it? I have read and heard so many different views and answers on this but really do need a definite. I will obviously do all I can to find out from the appropriate French authorities but even that is not as simple as it may seems. Thanks in anticipation. And I very much look forward to any responses. Hawkplasterer
