fosse septic

It'll depend on local regs, as always in France.

Worst case scenario is that it won't be large enough, as modern ones have to be pretty big since ALL waste water goes into them now, not just black water from toilets. You're also supposed to have a grease trap between kitchen and fosse.

In which case it COULD be a whole new fosse.......

Your first step is to make sure the present fosse operates correctly and does not need any immediate maintenance. If this is satisfactory, don't rush into anything new (and expensive) until the local authorities force the issue. Have you been given any details of inspection or notification of a requirement to improve the water treatment?

Unless you want to upgrade the fosse, for your own peace of mind, you could just wait until the mairie contacts you. If you propose to carry out other work on your house it is probable that this would trigger the official action to check your fosse.
