Interesting reading, many thanks for your replies, and I tend to agree with Mikey myself, we have three gites and lots of children coming this season. We are also very aware of the drinking/eating situation at night should something happen, not everyone is sensible!
We are going to relax the times a little though!
Thanks

Please can anyone advise if you put a time restriction on a shared pool, we were thinking of 9.00am-7.00pm to allow for cleaning, covering up etc.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Many thanks for your advice, I will certainly take it on board. We are not quite ready to get the website up and running, as we are still renovating.
Once again many thanks Michelle

The class is called the U.P.I. I am not sure what it stands for, but it is a class for special needs. I believe it is the first one in the Vienne (though don't quote me). At the moment there are four in the class including Kurt, with a maximum of 6 to start in September. When we had the meetings with the headmaster and social worker etc etc, I asked a number of questions including whether the mainstream children accept the other kids with special needs, his reply was that they and the teachers are all fine and happy with the children in the U.P.I and that they are not treated any differently, and so far I have not seen anything to doubt this.
As far as we are concerned, as long as Kurt is happy, we are happy, and if this changes then we will review. We did not expect him to settle this quickly and he has...fingers crossed for the next two years.
Here at home, Kurt can walk the dog safely on his own, enjoy all of the wildlife, swim in the summer, help his Mum and Dad with the renovations (which he has been an assett) and in his words 'chill' and 'eat lots of lovely food' (healthy food that is!)
All of the credit goes to Kurt who is kind, gentle, compassionate, funny and very mature for his age.
Kind regards
Michelle

Many thanks for your replies.
Kurt started school in January, and so far I have not had one morning when he has not wanted to go to school. When Kurt started mainstream secondary school in England, he got quite anxious in the first few weeks, but we have not had any problems so far...we are very proud of him.

Way back I posted regarding education for my son age 13 who has Downs Syndrome, after reading the replies, I was not put off and continued my plight for Kurt to have a better quality of life in France.
After many months visiting social workers, educational pyschologists etc, Kurt my son is now happy and being educated in a small class for special needs in a mainstream college in Poitiers. Yes I know, the language is very hard for him, but he seems to be doing well, his teacher speaks a little English, but obviously Kurt is encouraged to speak French. He goes swimming on a Friday with the other mainstream pupils, he went to a carnival on Tuesday, so far I can not complain. He is picked up by taxi at 7.30am and gets home at 5.00pm, fortunately he has every Wednesday off, which gives him time to recharge his batteries. Whether in England or France, our main concern is for Kurt to maintain his excellent social skills and to socialise with the other children, and most of all be happy. The first thing he tells us when he gets out of the taxi, is what he has had for his dinner, he is well impressed with the three courses.
Hopefully Kurt will continue to enjoy his French schooling (as much as any other teenager!) and when Kurt leaves school, he will be an important member of our gite business, which will give him his independence, but also the security of us not being too far away. So you see, there is hope

We are looking for recommendations for website designers, we have three gites so far.
I went on a fantastic website for gites with a section on the renovation of their gites in the Limousin (I think this is where they were) they had posts on this Forum, but now I can't find the posts with the link ??
Any recommendations greatly appreciated
Many thanks

Could someone point me in the right direction to find booking terms & conditions. Next year will be our first, and I already have my first enquiry for next June.
Many thanks

My husband is suffering with severe neck pain, from a motorcycle accident last year. I need to take him to see a doctor, but because of the history, ideally an English speaking one. Can anyone help? **urgently**

Is there anyone close to Vasle/Benessay with a tractor and topper. Our 4 acres of gardens are overgrown and needs cutting.

The local spam office have informed me that I also need an E106 for myself, I thought I came under my husbands?
I am having trouble keeping a connection, so can only look so far back through the threads ... apologies if this has been covered.
French Oil Painting Valuation

Hi
We have a large french oil painting by Richard Gauduchon and wondered how we would get a valuation to sell, I see from his website that his larger paintings go for quite a lot of money. Does anyone know what we would have to do to sell??
Many thanks
