Thankyou Will for your reply i am in the process of printing off cards and yes we always put on the siret no and can give references from pleased customers i have just put an advert on Artian anglaise who advertise in the French news their adds are only 15 euros so hopefully we will start to pick up work again. Our main problem has been with english customers either being refused planning and it all taking much longer or /and then running out of money there seems to be alot of English returning to the uk in our area not able to make a living, anyone thinking it's easy to make a living in France beware ..... you still have to pay your cotisations even if you are not earning a penny or does anyone know any different? Again thank's for the ideas Will, anyone else have any we would be most welcome, Karen.   

Hi everyone, my husband and i have been in France for 3 years and he is a registered builder but things are not good at the moment no work and i need some advice, where do you other builders advertise? we are in Normandy dept 50. Also what happens when work dries up and we still have to pay cotisations is there any help available to self employed artisans? Any help would be most greatful, thankyou Karen.

I have posted this on the education forum and wondered if any of you Normandy readers had any information on the international school in normandy ecole de Roches? Does any one have any advise for a 16 year old moving to France to complete her education? thankyou Karen.

Has anyone any experience of the international school in Normandy ecole de Roches ? My daughter is at bording school in the uk and after her gcse's is looking at the possibility of coming to France does anyone have any experience of this ? On another thread my son who is 11 and has been at school in France for 3 years has only had problems with bullying from other english children who have joined the school recently. No problems with the French children and he has settled very well, now at the college it does seem that too many english children are rocking the boat and spoiling it ................... Karen.
