i lived in the Dordogne Payzac24270 beautiful place very rural, i did not like it at all, for all its beauty i found it hard to integrate the area has a high population of Brits all P&O builders, i met some nice French but the Farmers surrounding my property were not at all friendly. I moved to the Lot Et Garonne  beautiful place much warmer than the Dordogne and has french and British everyone is more welcoming and i have thrown myself into the town life. Although there are British they are not trying to impose there way on to the Area, no cricket team?  Everything is much more accessible Toulouse and Bordeaux are only a hour away and you can drive round the L7G in a day. highly recommended,

that appears to be the general consensus regarding the skimmer will try magic sponges thak you

hello Thanks for the help in the past the pool now is up and running just a couple of questions i have been advise to put a large chlorine tablet in the skimmer there seems to be a lot of disagreement on this one ? or to tablets in the container in the pool do i do this daily ?. i run the pump over nite for roughly 4hrs and only put on in the day for cleaning. round the sides of the pool is ingrain dirt which i am gradually removing with a soft brush  Fibreglass pool any suggestions? thanks in advance

Hi finally got my pool back after years of neglect by previous owners, however there is slight discoloring on the steps and corners of the rough fibreglass any ideas what i can use to clean it appears ingrained. Angella

Hi i am setting up an micro entrepreneur business and i am booked on the required 5 day course.  In the Dordogne the course was held in English ! has anyone attended this course and has any paperwork in English which would be of assistance to me thank you in advance

thank you exactly the point i was trying to make and for the record i do speak french but when in pain i would like to be able to communicate and be understood quickly as the op stated i did not ask or need any other profession-in English so why this attack i have no idea .

thanks everyone doctor found and now registered, please can we now stop the character assassination which it seems to have now changed to the town of Nerac alittlebitfrench ( you missed the joke on the name) why not start your own topic  this ones now concluded

hi thankyou for the ear bashing and the judgements and assumptions alittlebitof french and iban have you quite finished with the character assassination feel free to carry on as it says more about your small mindedness than mine. i have no idea why you feel it necessary. must reflect your lifestyle.  A big thank you for the pm with the English speaking doctor i contacted this morning living in nerac. just shows you two do not know eveything    

hi thanks for the information everyone and the debate on whether or not it is ok to speak English  as a French doctor  and i am truly amazed at the hostile reaction of some. I have been fortunate to have experienced really good French Doctors whom speak English i was just hoping to find another here in Nerac especially after some posted  previously that they had.

Hi nick p thank you Jasper's Girl

just because you have not experience something does not make it false? Can we just get back to the question please alittlebitof french as your replies are irrelevant.

not at all i am just stating the fact that for the last 7 years i have been treated by English speaking doctors in 2 different departments in france ? therefore they obviously do not agree with you that it is " a liability issue" so my original question is valid

hi Well thanks for the mix bag of replies having just joined this forum i thought the idea was to give advice on the subject, not lecture a newbie and make all kind of assumptions, actually just for the record my french is not bad hence i did not need an English speaking hairdresser or as suggested a plumber just thought some one may like to recommend a hairdresser in the area if they know of a good one. however when dealing with health issues especially if in a stressful situation or in immense pain i was just inquiring if there was an English speaking doctor as there was a post in 2005 on this very forum suggesting indeed Nerac had an English speaking doctor. i have just moved from a different department in france where most doctors spoke English as did dentists. So the comparisons to England in a previous post, lectures on my standard of French are completely unnecessary and irrelevant. please just answer the question  and if you have nothing to add please do'nt be  so judgmental and condescending.

hello eveyone just moved to Nerac 47600 lot et Garonne looking for an English speaking doctor and dentist to register. happy to meet folks living in the area, will also need a hairdresser and fitness classes, or running club these do not have to be English speakers
