It's actually the three years before they take in to consideration.

So you need to educate them in the French system or at a European school in France, with a home address in France French school for the last 3 years of their education.

Not from the ones I have looked at; you need, and I quote, Undergraduate Courses: Students with qualifications from any international high school are expected to have results comparable to students from UK institutions.

Well, that would be covered. No time limits suggested. I have spoken to Edinburgh uni, and all they have to do, is apply.

It's also free for them to go, I was wrong about the €1800. All they have to do, is have comparable exam results from UK institutes.

I believe Scottish pupils do their final exams a year earlier than the English, that accounts for the extra year at Uni.

Interestingly, if you have a French, or EU residence, you pay overseas fees for Jock Uni's and it's about £1800 a year.

4 year degrees there end in Masters too, iirc. I am thinking of sending the girls out to live in our place in Poitou-Charentes the summer they apply for Uni places. Anything but having to buy a place in Scotland...

Those of us who learnt English during our free education will probably write it off instead.
