Re: Hello
It's a nice feeling in France. I get the impression it is more community and family orientated than in the UK
Best wishes
John

Hello and a big welcome to BE.
Excellent information can be found in the BE Wiki, not forgetting the Living and Moving Abroad forum that will help you, there is also a lot more information in the Forum for France. Yet another set of great help is the permanente threads at the TOP of each forum, they are very pertinent to that particular forum and makes sensible reading.
Moderators deal with any problems that arise such as inappropriate posts, spammers etc, you will find their names at the bottom right hand side of each forum's index in bold font.
Please contact me if I can give you any further help.

Re: Hello - Thinking of moving to France
As suggested above, come onto the France forum, giving a few more details.
E.g. what area are you interested in? will you be looking to work (in which case in what fields and how is your French?) or retire?
There are plenty of us on the France forum to give you advice!
