rosie

thank you all so much for your help & expert advice, i have read the 'times' link however i'm still raring to go! please keep the advice comming xxx

hello... we are  relocating to south of france, as soon as the sale of our property goes through (matter of weeks) & we desperately need somewhere to rent from mid dec onwards, whilst we search for the property of our dreams, so far it's proved difficult to get rental information from the uk (not to mention expensive)  as holiday lets seem to be the only choice, we were hoping more along the lines of possibly renting a gite (or something simular ) in an out of season kind of deal? in the south of the langudoc region (carccasonne) or there abouts so please contact us if you can help... kindest regards claire & nick

Thanks alot for replying to my post. It would be great if you could send me over some details of the place in Carcassonne and any others you know of. Do you/how long have you lived in france and where abouts? If there's any other advice or help you could give us it will be greatfully appreciated. Look forward to hearing from you. Merci

Thank you very much for your reply it has been very helpfull. Kind regards 

Thanks for the info sunday driver :) much appreciated.

Hi, thanks for getting back to us. We do speak a little french but probably not enough to understand a contract! We are learning at present. We are a very genuine couple in our early 30's looking to relocate to the south of france for good. Is there any kind of health insurance you could recommend for us and any further advice on moving abroad/health care etc would be greatfully recieved. Kind regards rosie

Hello there, Does anyone know how long i can drive in france for using my uk insurance? We plan on living in france full time once we have found somewhere to live! Also does anyone know if i will have to get a french license? Kind regards Rosie x

Hello there.... bonjour my partner and i are currently going through the 'sale' process of our flat in the u.k, it is due to go through within the next few weeks or so, and our plans are to go to france, & rent somewhere for a couple of months whilst searching for a property to buy, we have visited france a few times, & viewed different properties & areas, so far its been the areas that we cannot decide on.. (due to lack of knowledge)however we are now very interested in the languedoc region & carcassone. although we plan to buy outright we are hoping to buy a property that has a means of making a living i.e gite or something to rent out ect we are finding it difficult from the uk to find any available (furnished) properties to rent, as all that comes up on the internet is holiday rentals, we were hoping for a cheap 'out of season' rent (if this exists)? also, ihave just discovered that i am approx 6 weeks pregnant with my first child, & am worried about how i can get registered with a local doctor / hospital for any treatment ect, as my gp here seems to think it will not be easy? (although i was thinking it would be better than in the uk)   so any advice would be much appreciated
