can someone offer us advice, preferably someone who has done the move, my wife and i are still in the production stage… we are thinking of going there in march for two weeks just to get a feel what it is like. How easy is it to buy a property there? would it be easy to sell our house in the uk and then get a mortgage in France. I ran into dept on a business i once run and picked up a few CCJ’s, would this cause problems in getting a mortgage in France? I have three children 14, 8 and 2 would it be easy for them to adapt to french life? what about school?…I am sorry for all these questions that is why it will be ideal for someone who has done the move to answer. Cheers

Does anyone know how to track down HGV Driving vacancies in Normandy or Brittany, France? I have tried the french equivalent of our local job centres, but to no avail. We are looking to move to the area of Normandy or Brittany and as I don’t speak french extensively I am finding it hard to locate any french haulage companies that I can contact direct.
Is there by any chance any french haulage companies reading this who would be interested in taking my husband on as an HGV driver? He has many years experience and loves trucking, we would just love to be able to move to France!!
