Re: Right to live in France

Hi dmu, yes I've got my head round the 3 months residency on a boat issue. We plan to come and cruise up the Midi and the Lateral as if on holiday looking at houses and checking out transport links...

Re: Right to live in France

Indeed, that was my concern. Having lived in France twice for 2 years at a time we came and went on our EU passports and kept our heads under the radar on our boat. No one ever questioned how long we...

Re: Right to live in France

That's interesting. Nous devons vivre d'espoir, as I learnt to say when taking my sail boat of 1.4m draft down the Canal du Midi, ignoring the doom mongers who swore I'd never get through. And the...

Re: Right to live in France

Yeeees.....I think we will simply come to France and see how it pans out. I pay UK tax on my letting income and will spend my money in France. Everyone's a winner. Both countries have their hooks in...

Re: Right to live in France

Apologies to those longer standing members who have answered this question or something like it many times already, but I can't find a simple answer (if there is one) to this. If I live in France...

Re: Right to live in France

This all sounding more possible, though I have one other question to throw into the mix. My wife has a pre-exisitng condition that involves regular drugs. I can guess how that will affect medical...

Re: Right to live in France

We would be in the same boat (no pun intended) as early retirees some years from a UK state pension. Can you give me an idea of how French healthcare costs are calculated? Is it a percentage of your...

Re: Right to live in France

Yes, that's what I was thinking. As to that, can anyone give me an idea of prescriptions and charges in France. Assuming we would get medical insurance that doesn't include a pre-existing condition...

Re: Right to live in France

Thanks for all the thought and research that have gone into these replies. I can't pretend to fully understand the suggestions and counter suggestions, but I wonder if one of the points that Scots in...

Re: Right to live in France

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. By short term let I was referring to an apartment. As I say, I am aware that short term tenancies are uncommon in France. We will be stopping for up to 6 months in...

Re: Right to live in France

Yes, I've never been a lover of narrow boats. We wintered in Port St Louis at the base of the Rhone in 2005 and it was ok. Our boat is a 36' sail boat and easily heated with a small convection heater.

Re: Right to live in France

That's all very encouraging, thanks. Now I just have to persuade the powers that be that we are permanently resident on a boat in the canals. We will try the various ports de pleasance along the way...

Good post indeed. Always dangerous to only hear what you want to believe, but the second sentence is what I wanted to hear.

Re: Right to live in France

Hi and thanks for all the replies and advice,
Since we are coming to France anyway and have lived in France for 4 years already (albeit on a boat), the most relevant advice seems to me to be 'There...

Re: Right to live in France

Hi dmu,
Thanks for the reply. Yes I'm aware of the need for medical insurance and the problems of whether living on a boat would count as being resident. They were going to be some of my later...

Right to live in France

Hi Everyone,
This is the first of a number of questions I hope I can get some advice on. My wife and I are British passport holders and I have been able to register my birth in Ireland so I will...
