On the contrary Phil, the forum software is so intelligent that it not only prevents spammers via the 5 post rule, but it detects attempts to circumvent the rule via successive one line posts!
No I haven't attempted the PACS (living together) route, although Bev has more information on this subject. The French are being increasingly difficult since Sarko came into power, with various 'tightenings' of immigration rules. Unlike the Brits who just come out and refuse to sign up to Euro legislation they don't like, the French sign up anyway, pretend to go along with it, and then do everything they can to make it unworkable.
I was assured type 'C' was the one we needed. Basically seeing as soon as the non-Euro spouse arrives on his/her short-stay, s/he has to apply for the carte de séjour, which once granted makes the visa redundant anyway.
My wife was let into the country on a 'C', without having a return flight booking, so far so good.
