Hi, and welcome to the Forum!
On the France front, post again in the France forum and we'll advise!
Be aware that, if you work at home you'll have to set up a French business structure which wouldn't cover both your speciality and B&B. And be sure to choose an area where there's a good internet coverage!
Read the Read-Me: Moving to France FAQs at the top of the France forum, particularly "Partner Status" if you're not legally bound; Renting (you'll need to prove a regular monthly income 3-4 times the rent in order to be considered by landlords); the latest thread #19 on "Inactifs" which concerns healthcare coverage before you've set up your business and all the while your partner isn't working, and conditions for residency; "Schooling" if you're bringing children,.....
That's for starters! I won't mention the wet and stormy weather which S.W. France has been suffering this spring. Hoping for better weather shouldn't be a factor when deciding to leave the UK!;)
