My young family and I are contemplating a PERMANENT move to (near) Bergerac, Dordogne area.

 

Can you tell me what health care we are entitled to?

[HSBC & French Autoteller Machines]

Are there any HSBC Banks in France and if so, can one drw money from, say, machines with Cirrus logo or any other?

 

Also, is it absolutely necessary to have a French bank account - if using cash and/or visa/mastercard all the time?

[UK Family Allowance - Payable?]

Is UK family allowance still payable to family's taking up residency in France?

[Limited Company, registered in England]

Can anyone explain to me the tax situation for me as a limited company contractor, about to reloate to France?

I work mainly offshore Aberdeen/Great Yarmouth, Holland and sometimes more far-flung places.  How does this present itself in the eyes of French tax laws etc.- particularly if I am out of the country for more than 6 months of the year?

[healthcare and social security benefits]

If my family and I relocate to France, to live permanently, what healthcare are we entitled to under the French state, if any?

 

If nothing, can someone explain whatwe must do and who to apply to?
