has any one experience with american (not dual voltage) equipment (like receivers, dvds, computers) working in france?

having lived in usa for 25 yrs i was amused by yr ?  very little in the usa is "nationalised" unless it comes under a fed law which much of ones life does not. each state has its own driv licence, driv test, tax forms, benefit forms and indeed laws. you could "marry " as 2 gays in one state and be illegal in the next! the country is misnamed...should be dsa....disunited staes of america. dont get me wrong i love living ere but the lack of centralisation is maddening and os wasteful.

this is a great site. have been reading many of the posts. have a question. were (2 of us) considering moving from a consumer paradise(usa) to ?. we have adequate income and will not need a mortgage. id be interested to know what things people found most difficult in settling into french life.

whats the best way to go about looking for a property in the perpignan area
