    I am considering relocating to France and looking into keeping Charolais cattle. What do I have to do to set up as a farmer in France? I would like to know a bit more about the breed. I know that they are beef cattle.

I too am impressed about Chrisb's 'poids lourd'.

40% on the general test. Haven't tried the others yet.

Do French children have to go to school on Saturdays?

    Is there anywhere in the UK where I can obtain Floc de Gascogne and/or Marc de Bourgogne?

Just thought that Eurostar's website may have something about Lille, as it is one of their destinations.

I have also read some of Georges Simenon's books

Peter Mayle

Can anyone recommend to me a guide book to Lille?

Is the present subjunctive used to express a future idea? e.g. il est possible que j'aille a la France demain (present subjunctive but future idea).

Instead of the Future and Future Perfect forms.

Just had a thought. Are the present and perfect tenses used instead?

Lots of snow here in Kent. It is also going to get worse tonight.

    Is it the in-thing to send New Year's cartes de Voeux by e-mail? I have just received one from a friend and would like to know whether it is better to send them by post or e-mail or doesn't it matter.

I see what you mean and will probably stick to the present tense.

I didn't think the form existed.

Can anyone tell me whether or not the subjunctive exists in the Future and/or Future Perfect forms in French. If they do exist can someone tell me how it is formed?
