Ok thank you

How does the tv licence work in France. We have a tv but don't watch French TV at all . We either watch Sky or DVD's . Do we have to pay? Plus we are only in France about 5 weeks a year.

Thank you I am very grateful for everyone's replies. Yes their is more information. But daughter does not have learning problems just the social side. Once she gets comfortable then she is amazing. We have lots to consider and need to talk more as a family but I was just interested in the education side of things. We do have our eyes open to a lot of the possibly problems. Having a house out there already has helped to gain a better understanding and to develop friendships and no t just with the English. Once again many thanks

Thank you Rose for your reply. I have looked at the school "Inter high" and it looks perfect. I have asked for more info. My daughter will be 16 Years when we move and I now realise that a French school will be crazy. She has ADHD and Aspergers but performs well in main stream school. Her biggest problem, like so many, will be the social side of things, so distance learning would be great. To help her with regards to meeting people we would look at joining clubs, especially dog training classes and to be honest anything else that goes. I really hope we will end up more busy then we already are. Once she gets to know people then she is great. I think its safe to say that she comes across as being shy.

Thank you for your reply. We are also considering distance learning courses. In many ways this maybe better . however we want her to be able to make friends.

We will be moving to France next year with our daughter who will be 16 years. Can any please give advise on education options please.We live near Confolens .

I wonder if anyone could please help. We have a house in Charente and hope to move out full-time in 2016 or 2017 the latest. I would like to set up as a dog groomer. I have researched the area a lot and after the sale of our English home we will have money to support us . I really would like to either set up as a mobile groomer or via a summer house in our garden. I could actually offer both . At home I would be to groom only one dog at a time And of course the hours would be to it in with our neighbors as much as possible. How do I apply for permission to do this ?
