We are thinking of moving to France but our son has just been diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome, he will need medical support such as physio, occupational and speech therapy and will need to go to a special needs school for learning difficulties.  Does anyone have any advice they could give us, ie. do you think we are mad to contemplate it, our knowledge of french is not good! Are there anyother families out there who have children with this syndrome in France?

Thanks for the new number, will give it a go...... Derkins

Planning on moving out near to Limoges in January at 5 months pregnant and it is worrying me about giving birth with very little french language at the moment, can anyone let me know their experiences good & bad.  Should I wait and move there after the birth?

We were near St Cyprien, also near Perigeaux.  Maybe my husband was beeing too french and needed a bath!

Thanks, can you recommend any better places to live, what about near Limoges?
