What nationality are you, if you have left England to live in France, you will have completed paperwork in the UK so that you can get a carte vitel, a French social security card which you use to get automatic refunds from the French system. If you are a UK resident living here for a short period of time you can still get a social security card. If you need to claim back any monies already paid out, you can do so either here in France or through the UK system. You only lose your rights to UK health care if you have trasnfered your rights here to France.

If you are working, you automatically gain rights to French health care, even if you only work part time, you will be paying contributions for your health care. Are you a student from the UK?
