We're still living in the UK (Wales), and have just bought a house in 47. Thinking of moving over (at some time), and have the usual (I assume) dilema of making a living.

Just bought a place in Lot et Garrone (paid deposit), but was wondering the best people to use for the main lump sum.
A friend has mentioned Travelex, but just wanted to get peoples feedback/recomendations.

Many thanks,
