Hi I have two girls aged 16 and 18. I have just bought them a 50cc scooter. Do they have to take a BSR test in order to ride it? Beth

My 18 year old daughter has learnt to drive in the UK and passed her theory in Feb this year. She has since failed her practical test in the UK. I would like her to take her practical in France since this is where she will be driving. As we are in the EU, and licences are in any case recognised once they are full, would the prefecture accept her english "code" theory pass, and let her just take the practical? I have spoken to some Auto ecoles about this and they are not sure of the answer. Also my insurance co. Goupama won't insure her as conducteur accompagnee because she hasn't been through the french system! I'm rather stuck. I can't afford to keep sending her back to the UK to take her test, and she's not allowed to practice here. Help! Any advice from people suffering similar fates with their kids?? Beth

Have a friend in 24 (Sarlet area) who wants a tennis court built. They would like it built this summer but can't seem to find anyone. Suggestions please

Currently living in 46 but need to rent a small house/gite or flat in the Toulouse area or outskirts but on the airport side as of September for approx 18 months for myself - a teacher, and my 2 teenage daughters, who will be attending school. Does anyone know who best to approach apart from the depeche du midi and immobiliers? Also has anyone any experience of sending their children to Victor Hugo international school in Colombiers? My 16 year old girl's french is really not good and I'm looking for a sympathetic school for her. thanks
