I am under no illusion that life is a bed of roses. This is not a whim, its something I’ve wanted to do for years and now I finally have the money. I am doing it alone so although it may be hard in some ways, it is only myself I have to worry about. I have travelled all over France for months at a time, and although I am well aware that a holiday is not the same as the mundane facts of life, I am sure it is the country for me. So I am off to purchase said book and others that may be of help. These enquires are just the beginning of a long process before I decide to move and I thank you all for your words of wisdom. Shukra

Ouch, that was a truth slap, but what i needed! opps didn’t mean citizen, just being aloud to live in the country. I.e. having a job to bring in income tax etc. Have enough to purchase and renovate and have English builders etc to use, but the main thing for me would be to be able to make a living at it. Though as you have said you cant make a living from running a B&B so maybe i should put it on hold until i have more of a bottomless pit of cash!!

Hi there, I’m new to this forum so apologise if this thread has been up before. Basically I’m not too sure how to go about relocating to France and what requirements I must fulfil. I’ve done the looking for property bit!!! Like most British people looking to move to France, I have the dream of a beautiful home with some farmland, chickens etc, renting rooms in my guesthouse and providing organic breakfast!!! So I’ve got the dream, I’ve even got some cash! I’m just unclear if I could become a citizen and how to go about it all, so any advice please. Big big thanks in advance. Shukra
