I am planning moving/buying a house in France. Can someone tell me, I am not retired, how long I can stay without work or what level of income I need to show I have sufficient funds to live independently. Also what papers I need to get. I also understand you can stay without looking for work for I think 90 days at one time what is the maximum number of days you can stay in one year without working, for example can you stay 90 days return to England for say 30 days and return for another 90 days?? Quite a lot of questions but have to start somewhere
