[mains drainage]

Just to say thank you to all who replied.  We have (our agents have) a certificate from the Maire confirming the mains drainage is going to happen - no dates though!! - surprise, surprise.  So until then, at some time in the future, we are looking for alternatives. 

We do not have enough land for a septic tank and are currently investigating 'mini sewage treatment thing??'  any ideas?? 

[holiday house in limousin]

We too are in the process of buying a property in Limousin, Chirac.  We have travelled a little in this area and have been to Dun le Palastel, the only industry that we have seen is what you would expect in/around a large town (Limoges) and a paper factory near Saint Junien, none of which we found obtrusive.  Good luck with your holiday home, we may bump into each other in a hypermarket!

We are hoping to buy a property in Chirac, Charente and have heard that properties in the area are to be conected to mains drainage starting 2006.  Has anyone heard of this happening in the area??

[Health]

We are in the early stages of buying a home in Charante and I'm sure will have tons of questions over the coming months - years, however the main question is regarding health.  I have MS and take medication, which in the UK I get free from NHS.  My question is how do I get these drugs in France when we move here permanently without paying the full fee (£10,000.00 pa approx)

Any information would be great.

Thanks

[medication that I am currently using]

My husband & I are planning to move to France next year. I think that I kind of understand the health cover bit, however, I have MS and currently am prescribed a drug on the NHS. How do I arrange for this to continue when I am in France?

Thanks
