  1. Hi, we are moving to France later this year (just bought a property in the Charente near Barbezieux). I am still very confused about the reimbursement system of health care costs!? Can anyone give us an idiot guide? Also Ranald is an insulin dependent diabetic. I know that diabetes is one of the serious illnesses that are total funded but he uses an insulin pump and I cannot find out whether the pump and supplies that are needed to go with the pump are free of charge also. Can anyone help. I have contacted the French diabetic Assoc and have been told no by one person and yes by another! Hope someone can shed some light on the subject, many thanks Pam and Ranald
  2. We are thinking of buying a property in France one to live in permanently and one to rent out as a gite. We are trying to decide which area would be best.... any suggestions? We were thinking of either Brittany or Limousin/Auvergne to begin with but there seems to be so many gites to rent in Brittany already, is the market saturated? or is there still room for us?  It would appear that their are very few gites in the Limousin/Auvergne, is this because there is no demand for gites? or because the weather is too harsh in winter !!!!! I am assuming that the people who visit the Limousin/Auvergne are on walking/hiking/bike/rambling type of holidays, is my assumption correct? or do people just pass right through on their way to the south (as we did for many years!!) If you already live in either Brittany or Limousin/Auvergne , what is the weather like all year round. I have read so many conflicting reports! I'm confused! Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Pam & Ranald      
  3. Hi I understand that we need to take out 'top up' medical insurance once we move to France. Could anyone tell me if this insurance covers any problems relating to pre-existing conditions? Any recommendations as to who to go to for a quote? many thanks    
  4. Hi We are hoping to move to France in the next year. My partner is an insulin dependent diabetic and I am trying to find out whether all his insulin supplies, blood glucose monitoring  equipment and regular diabetic clinic check ups would be free of charge as they are in the uk. any info would be great many thanks
