Aube

I also received a letter today saying that I am covered until  March 2008.  I am very surprised, as I have been living in France since 1997.  I do have a titre de sejour which shows what date I arrived in France, and sent a copy to CPAM in Vienne, but unfortunately they didn't seem to take any notice of the 5 years residence.

Just saw your post.  Thanks for the reply. Aube

    Can anyone please recommend a doctor in Civray.  Thanks

    I stayed at the Hotel Aladin a number of times.  Very good and central.  The website is www.hotelbalneoaladin.com

Thank you to all those who replied.  I think we have found a suitable house for us.  To Nank, Thanks for your post about angloinfo.com.  We have found our house through totalfrance.com, there are plenty of ads under the classifieds section.  Good luck with your search. To Riberac, Thank you.  I will certainly search pap.fr if I need to find accommodation in the future.

    Thank you all for your replies.  We are finding a bit difficult to rent as we have been to a number of estate agencies who require proof of income ie. last three months payslip.  We do have income, we pay our taxes here, but we do not hold jobs in France.  We also suggested to them that we can provide a bank guarantee, but some are still very reluctant.  Anyway, we are still looking for a house, preferably unfurnished, as we have just sold our house.

Hi, We are looking for long term rental in Poitou Charente, Pays de la Loire or Indre.  We have recently sold our property and would like to rent a house with at least 2 bedrooms for a year or maybe longer from end October, preferably with broadband connection and storage for garden tools.  We  are a married couple with no children and no pets.  Can someone help please?  thanks.
