    Retirement to France Enquiry
    I hope this is the right board on which to post this question. I have also posted it under 'Travel". I am a US veteran with a disability rating of 100%, & have decided to move to Paris France. My disabilities, while major, do not limit my mobility or yet require use of wheelchair or other help to get around.
    While I am going to make enquiries of the Veterans Administration, I would like some feedback from qualified members regarding what I need to do to accomplish this move, what to expect in the way of jumping through hoops & etc. Of particular importance to me is how, where & through whom my medical needs will be addressed.
    Thank you, Michael Kemp

    Hi michael,

    I retired from the fire service some 7-8 year ago had a bit of money so we, Tina and I, went to Portugal we were there for a year I was cracking on plumbing, painting and building etc.

    We were about to buy an apartment, very nice. Had to come home for funeral.

    I was in one room talking to Tina,s Father- saying how good it was how well we were doing, can't wait to get back.

    At the same time T was in the other room telling mom how much she hated it , didn't want to go back, didn't like it, missed her mum.

    Communication.

    Anyway I don't know how familiar you are with the french and how much of a change it will be for you.

    All I can say is best of luck, and as for your question - I ain,t got a clue.

    BEST REGARDS

    Martin.

    Hi Michael,

    Yeah we got to go back last year,
    Took the in-laws and my mum and our two kids.
    It was quite good but not the same.

    Best wishes,

    Martin.
