Answer 1

Interesting question - I have a good friend who made the move a couple of years back. They have a younger son but have been through all of the teething problems you can expect.

The guy has a blog about his life in France - take a look and leave him a comment or ask your question directly, I'm sure that he'd be happy to pass on any advice.

Answer 2

in case you communicate French and make a intense-high quality residing in France, stay there. in case you omit your loved ones, or in case you won't be able to communicate French, or in case you won't be able to earn funds in France - then flow decrease back to England. And as a final motel - use the announcing my mom lived via - "while uncertain, do no longer do it."

Answer 3

Go for it boyo - could any country be worse than Bliar's Britain - France has good schools,hospitals and conditions for families are good, the food is better and the wine and ale is cheaper too!
