Re: British marriage

Morning Helen and Cyrian,
Just to throw my 0.02€-worth into the mix, we set up a 'communauté universelle' via our notaire - and it cost 500€ about 10 years ago.

Re: Moving to france, 28 year old male ..HELP!

We've been with Orange since 2007 - and we've had few probs with their service.

Re: Eating out

We keep meaning to go to Toulouse - the only problem is it's a bit far for us for an aller/retour in the same day.
Not knowing Toulouse at all, I'd appreciate the name of your restaurant there.....

Re: New arrival

Prior to making the decision to move here, we kept a close eye on the money markets and my conclusion was that the £ was likely to slowly lose value against the € over time. On that basis, we decided...
