We live in a small hamlet (part of the Cheronvilliers district)not far from Verneuil. We call it 'our little bit of heaven'! We have been here a year and love everything about it. The horses, Dog, Cat and chickens are in their element. The people are friendly and have made us feel very welcome, despite our lack of the French language! We were a bit of a novelty at first as we are the only Brits in our 'patch' especially as we lived in a caravan in the field for the first 7 months! Sorry, can't comment on any schools in the area as our family are grown up and 'off our hands'! Hope it all works out for you Good Luck Jan & David

Hi We bought a new Ifor Williams trailer before coming to France as it worked out cheaper than buying new over here. Yesterday we went to the Perfecture in Evreux (27) and came out with Carte Grise 20 mins later, cost (I think) was 38 euro (either that or 35). Only requirement was Cert of Conformite and ID (we used Carte Sejour). No additional alterations or requirements to the trailer. Obtained the Cert of Conformite from Ifor Williams France in Paris - We have the address etc if anyone needs it. They also have a lady who speaks excellent English! Did it all by post cost 100 euro. Happy Towing Jan & David

Hi Poor Kids - I know how they feel! I have suffered the same ever since I was a baby and I am now about to be a grany myself! Up until recent years I have had to take pills on every journey then discovered the travel bands. I can now travel on the ferry, car, airplane etc without taking pills, which is great because you don't arrive at the destination feeling drowsy. Since moving to France I carry a set in the car and have been know to put them on to go 10k down the road if I am not driving! Not sure if you can buy them in France as I got mine from Boots in the UK - Maybe you have someone who could send you some out. Happy traveling! Jan
