I have just read her posting, I cannot find anywhere it says she was going to bring her mother over and not reg her here, she was asking if you have to, or what would be better for her mum. Just a list of who to speak with, or where to go would have been nice. Some of these replys would put anyone off coming to live here.    Report

Yes I remember Russethouse, god that seems such along time ago.  For those that dont know, we sold everything in England, and came to France, the difference being we had never been to France before , so you can imagine some of the comments that I got, but you are right Russethouse it did not put us off. I am still here and still loving it .   PS must remember Russethouse has long memory .    Report

My elderly mum is italian and also fluent in French. Basically she has wanted to get away from England for years, she has no friends here and often comes across hostility, she is very much a loner apart from wanting to be with us, her family who she is desperate to be with and relies on. She lives on her own, my dad having passed away some time ago and wants to get away from the english culture. She is fluent in french, spanish and english. In England she is reserved and depressed. When we take her abroad she really spreads her wings, becomes sociable and starts to smile again.  In the UK she receives no friendliness, which is such a shame. For those reasons I think taking her to France would be a fantastic opportunity for her. She has been trying to persuade us for years to move abroad but theres been so much to consider. Our children are 3, 10 and 15 and have shown amazing support in this decision and are extremely keen to start a new life in France, a reaction of which I was surprised at. To be honest the children fitting in are my main concern but I wanted to make sure things wouldnt be too complicated for my mum. Although she is a terribly intelligent lady she doesnt need any stress! Thank you so much for all the good advice received.                Report

All the information is very interesting and yes I did actually wonder how strict the french authorities would be in checking on someones movements in and out the country.  However, my mum is extremely law abiding and I know as soon as we have come over to France she will be straight down to the Town Hall, banks and any other official place she can go to check on everything. She will have more knowledge than me on the subject, especially as she's fluent in French. I just want to clear one thing up, my mum has no affinity with the UK atall and has been longing to move away for years, it is only us, her close family that have stopped her from going. Our children are also now wanting to move as they are distressed at the culture here and want a better quality of life, somewhere safer with no intimidating yobs hanging around, the list of reasons is endless. My 15 year old is fluent in french too. She'll be almost 17 by the time we move. She plans to spend a year with us and then travel Europe, with a nice long stop in Paris on the way. The healthcare issue I just wanted to get my head round so I explain things in simple terms to my mum. She wont worry too much at the prospect of having to pay 30% of the cost. We will rent out the UK property while we are away, if things go badly wrong there is always an option for us or her to return. Many thanks to everyone for their replies. I am actually very much looking forward to this move!            Report
