I've been reading about this stuff all day now!!!  Here is a good link with lots of info and links to sites about communities of these houses: http://www.lammas.org.uk/ecovillage/index.htm I wonder  what they'd make of these in France???   I wonder if you could just submit a declaration of works if you left only 20sq metres showing above ground?!

Still trying to figure out if you can just build one of these on land you own or if you need permission......

Or rather, the minimum wage BEFORE tax, according to this thread http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/1168196/ShowPost.aspx or is the amount of RMI (that you need to have the equivalent of in income) also taxable - I mean is the amount specified the gross amount rather than the amount of cash you actually need in the bank each month?

[quote user="Keelstow"]Seems a bit odd that an outsider needs to prove they have funds available to them way above the disposable income of a significant number of the locals.? who fixes these levels?[/quote]It's not way above the disposable income of the locals since it's the income support level, isn't it, below which the locals wouldn't have to live as they could then claim RMI?  Isn't the amount required about the same as a minimum wage in France, if you are a couple with 4 children?

 My apologies - I found the information here: http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/1048537/ShowPost.aspx 

So if it is €13364.16 minimum income for a couple, what is the amount for a family?  Do they add an amount per child? 

[quote user="Carlucian"]What is the best way to sell a French registered LHD car in UK to someone moving to France. Is there a website specifically for this? [/quote]If you find out (or yours is a six or more seater!) then I'd be interested!  It's not just people moving who look for French registered vehicles but also people who have a holiday home and would like to keep a car in France.....
