HGV driver / Farm worker

[KevinH]

Hi all

We (myself, wife and two kids) are moving to Normandy, 8k south of Domfront next year. I am looking to either find work as and HGV driver or farm worker.

Firstly, is there any further additions I need to become an HGV driver in France or will my UK HGV licence be suffice.

Secondly, has anyone had any experience working full time on a farm? I am a farmers son and have worked on farms all my life (I am 40). What are my chances of finding employment.

I am not too worried about low manual wages as I have been used to that all my life!

Thanks

Kevin
