Hello, I am thinking about starting a new life in France, with my small family. Not really sure where to start. I am in the stone masonry trade, repairing period properties using lime mortar for repointing etc. My son is only 6 and im not sure how young children cope with the transition to a French school. We do not have a mortgage at home in England, as we can not afford to get on the property ladder, hence the move to France with it's value for money property market. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. My father currently lives in Mayenne, so we would be able to get a roof over our heads in the first instance.Would be much work for a stone mason repairing walls and repointing etc,i also make stone staddle stone that i sale as these are very expensive other here would there be much demand for these.
