Hi to you all,

We are a family of 4, that are relocating to France.

We will be arriving next week to look at some houses, in the Champagne-Ardrenne area.

My Husband is a car mechanic with 14 yrs experience. Do you think he would struggle to find work, he speaks basic french ( we are working on it ).
He is thinking about going self employed with a little van to do the basics moblie, and maybe having a garage at home for some of the bigger stuff !!
He will only have to work part time, which will be a plus.

Any help would be great. The aim for us is to be self- efficient, veggie patch etc. To get away from the everyday life that we have now, which finds us both working all the hours, not seeing each other and most importantly missing out on the family life we both crave.

Now i am going on abit .
