We are hoping to move to France in the near future with our children aged, 14, 11, 9 and 7 and our primary concerns are employment and education. My husband is a skilled mechanical engineer (CNC) and has previously worked in F1 and the aerospace industries, but I can't find any mention of this type of job on any of the websites I have visited. Can anyone give us some much needed advice. Our two oldest children are not keen on the idea of moving and starting over. I've heard the older the kids are, the harder it is for them to settle in and learn the language, is this true? I've also had conflicting info with regard to the cost of living, is it more expensive than England? If so would we be better to stay and struggle where we know? Are we dreaming an unrealistic dream? Any info would be great. Thanks Jo
