[New arrival in Cher (18)]

Hello,
We're moving to Cher in August (near Le Chatelet) (sorry, don't know where St Martin la Rose is) in the hope of running gites (! like everyone else) and getting translation/interpreting work. Perhaps we may meet up sometime.

[Car Buying]

We've just discovered a French online car sales company that sells all makes at very good rates, legitimately! Their name is ARAMIS (aramisauto.com). They will deliver to any garage in France (for a small fee of no more than E350 AND get ALL the paperwork done for you, ie. no visit to the Prefecture. We're about to give them a try.

[Our (possible) wedding near La Souterraine]

Hello,
My husband and I got married in France September 2002. Although there were plenty of hassles getting everything together, it was such a personal and memorable day that it was well worth it. The only thing if you do go ahead in France is to watch out for the marital contract/regime, which can have huge repercussions in relation to inheritance, tax on death, etc. (not a nice subject, admittedly, but essential) with regard to purchasing property (we've just changed our regime, little knowing when we got married we'd be moving to France!).
I wrote a piece on our trials and tribulations and everything we needed. Let me know if you're interested and I can send it to you.
Hope you can make it to France.

[MICRO BIC and UK bought receipts]

Hello,
Please can anyone tell me if the French tax authorities accept purchase receipts (in Sterling) for things bought in the UK to be put against expenses for a small business in France - French tax resident. Thanks.
