[Which Visa?]

Hello,

We are planning to purchase an existing B&B in France.

My question is... before we move to France do we need to apply  for a Carte de commercant etranger, or a long stay visa and then apply for a residency permit once we are established in our new home?

Any info on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
