blisters

Hi Guys I've just stumbled across this forum and wow! it's a mine of information. Basically, we (me, OH and 8 year old daughter) are thinking of buying a property in the Suisse Normande, just outside Pont D'Ouilly.   The plan is to buy now and use as a holiday home and then make the move permanent in about 2 years time. Does anyone know if the French are OK with the English in this area, if many English have settled there and last but not least if the schools are OK? Thanks in advance.
