Keeping a car in France

[BlasterBates]

looks like you need a French registered car if you intend to stay more than 6 months

Driving in France

Best to buy a second hand car in France I would have thought.

Possibly not ideal for an elderly lady though.

Maybe, I think it depends on the elderly lady though. Out here you see loads of old folks cycling around with their shopping or grandkids in tow, and if she's playing golf she's presumably reasonably active so barring any nasty medical conditions could probably pootle a few miles on a bike and the exercise would do her good. I think staying active is one of the most important things to take care of as one ages, it keeps the mind healthier as well.

Def agree with that... I think when they stop being active, thats when retired people start to go downhill.

Oh and there was I thinking you were just being a twat.

Wilmslowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww,

good job very creative

for fun I will reply

having lived on the mainland for some years, I can say the safest is to have a car which has the steering wheel localised to the country you are in - I'll leave you to work that one out

secondly, on the mainland, all insurance policies for cars come with 12 months green card for the other countries in europe

but, UK insurers don't do this as standard - so you need to check that
