You are absolutly right Gail, I really should be more possitive! Its just that the more I look into it the more horror stories I find. Some more tails of good experiences would help me greatly. Thanks again Gail.      

Hi, We are in the first stages of planning to relocate to France and will be looking to move in 2007.  We have 4 children (how that happened I dont know!) and I am really confused and worried about the question of schooling - I am not so worried about the 2, 6 and 8 year old as they are quiet easy going but my 11 year old is really worried about the move, particularly about coping at school.  From reading some of the other postings on this site I have seen that there can be problems with finding friends and intergrating. We probably would be able to stretch to one of the International Schools but I am also keen for them to intergrate as much as possible. We are looking at the Bordeaux region - I would really appreciate anyone's comments and expeciences of this tricky subject and moving in general - particularly to that region. Many Many Thanks
