{"product_id":"2940045522731","title":"Keep Your Head If You Move To France","description":"\u003cp\u003eA sometimes humorous, but always factual look at the problems you’re likely to encounter if you move to France. Many books make it sound a breeze: it isn’t always – AS WE FOUND…...\u003cbr\u003eSchools and clinics are great, although one dentist gave me arsenic for a root canal. Emergency health treatment is free with your EHIC card, but for your GP you’ll need to be employed or a pensioner. And food is yummy, though not cheap.\u003cbr\u003ePerhaps you want to renovate an old house – you’ll get one cheap. Again there’s paperwork, especially if you have neighbours. Out in the sticks, no one will care much what you do.\u003cbr\u003eYou may think that finding and buying a property is similar to the UK – it isn’t. You’ll need to ask around for a good lawyer, who will probably not speak English.\u003cbr\u003eIf you’re not a pensioner, you may need to find a job. Good luck! Many people think “Oh, I’ll teach English.” If you haven’t had professional training, you won’t. Qualifications are essential in France.\u003cbr\u003ePerhaps you’re thinking of running a B and B or a smallholding. Don’t think you can just get started – there’s a mound of paperwork to get through first – the French love bureaucracy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Bottrill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47177280225520,"sku":"2940045522731","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940045522731_p0.jpg?v=1763688762","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940045522731","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
