British Expats - Thinking of moving to Franc e- moved from FAQs thread

I tried to place a new thread under this section about moving to france/toulouse but i cannot find it.
Do i have to wait for hours to be moderated by somebody before being posted or what"s the catch.
Nevertheless, due to lack of time, i post here as reply its main topics:

Hi,

I currently work in Munchen/Germany and contemplating the idea of moving to France/Toulouse !
I need to give a fast answer so maybe some of you can give some clues what to expect so that i can take a decision:
1. Salary wise i should expect > 3500 net / month :
- the usual question: enough ?
- our daughter is close to 4 years old: what are the costs of child care and how easy is it to access it ? can we find easy a place or we have to go for private solutions and how expensive is that ?
For example in Munich is very hard to find available place in day-care(kindergartenplatz) up to age of 6years;
- rent: i have the impression that in the range of 800-900EUR cold rent we could find something nice , 3 rooms apt.
Is this realistic ? Or should i be prepared to budget more for this expense? Also what"s with taxe d"habitacion ? Should i be prepared to pay it by myself and how much could it be? 1K per year ?
- i was always puzzled how to calculate real net salary: including health/pension but also taxes;
I am using this calculator (1) to calculate the 1st net and then take this number and put it into this calculator ( 2) to get the taxes dued and therefor have a grip about the real 2nd net that actually i see yearly in my pocket. Is this correct or am i doing it wrong?
2. City safety: Munchen is quite safe, green and nice. What about Toulouse ?
3. Healthcare and access to doctors: what i find annoying to Munchen is that they simply have too few doctors.
Appointments needs to be done months in advance and even emergencies(light ones like dental/ENT/flue/some pain/headaches/dermatology etc.) are treated lightly are more or less ignored up to a certain point. I call this access to doctors.
How is the situation in Toulouse ? Is it easy to go with preventive/regular checks or everything is so crowded that unless you have a big problem you will not manage to see a doctor.
4. French language: i already have a basic vocabulary, like B1, but the usual words describing day activities and not the formal bureaucratic type. Is this enough to go by ?

What else should i be aware about ? Additional expenses ?
Thank you for getting to this point with reading my post and if you are kind to give me a fast your experience would be really great!
