  1. Hi Val sorry the reply I have just posted to Pat was ment for you. (sorry new to this forum thing) Thnks again .   janine
  2. Hi Pat, Thanks for being so honest. I think the benifit thing in france, and how they give the jobs to the French first is fair enough. Seems like finding empoyment,or job would be a nightmare even with some French. Think from all the reply's so far we will make the most of our life in the UK. Guess there are a lot worse places to live. Just we have been to the Vendee area a few times on holiday and love it. Seems a more calmer way of life and more about who you are, rarther than what  you have got and less materialistic than the UK. Never mind we will just have to retire there when we are old and grey (not than anything wrong wth being old and grey better than the alternative).   Thanks again for your help really appriciate it   Janine
  3. Hi, Thanks for your reply , appriciate your advice. It all soundslike a real nightmare . What do most rits do over there for a living apart from B&B which seems to have been done to exhaustion. Gite sounded a good option but I thought you needed at least six to make a living from it?   thanks again   Janine
  4. Hi Pat thanks for your reply, At the moment I work for the local council as a Tourist information Advisor and my husband works as an Estates Technician for the local water company. So neither of us do anything special. Just France seemed such a better way of life. Saying that we do have quite a nice life in the UK and if we sold up and moved to Fance and it all fell flat. We would have to start agin in the UK from scatch.. If it was just us not really matter that much but with twins almost six its a different ball game. Does anyone know an ordinary family,s who have made the move amd made a go of it. As after we sold the house we would only be left with about £100,000 at the most after mortgage was paid off. to move over with? That would be to buy a house with and try to live off untill we found jobs or started own business. grateful for any reply's   thanks again   Janine
  5. Thanks for your reply, really appriciate it Janine  
  6. Hi, Also if Podiatry degree does not come off, thinking of opening up a Subway sandwich franchise in the Vendee or Languadoc area..  I  did E-mail the contact in France for the company. He was not keen on us opening a franchise in France as being from the UK.as we had never lived in France and did not speak the language.(language I can quite understand) we were going to do a course before we moved. Does anyone think Subway sandwich franchise would work in France if we only have basic French.  My husband and I just love Fance but a we have two children and it's alot to give up if it all falls flat. Trying to find ways in which we could earn a  living  if we did decide to take the chance. Just seems much better place to bring up kids. Thanks again for any  advice Janine
  7. Hi I was thinking of taking a BSC (hons) in Podiatry  does anyone know if  I could practise in France  If have gained my degree. If you qualify in the UK can you practise in France? Does Podiaty in France work much the same way as the uk?   Advice would be appriciated as do not have clue,also thinking of moving to Vendee area or languadoc if any help[8-)]   Thanks Janine
