Thanks Jane, yes it has been really complicated for many reasons, without going into detail, between herself, her lawyers, accountants and relocation specialists both in the U.K. and France they have, or are in the processes of making the necessary arrangements so all is above board and set up correctly, but a ball ache it has indeed been!

Thank you John. 
Thanks Michael, I tried to give the abbreviated version! 
My father made the decision about 30 years ago. He was looking for his “chateau en Espagne” for his retirement and settled on the Quercy quite by chance. At this time he was working in Geneva. He passed away some 20 years ago. Unfortunately, it did not occur to me until much later to ask him the obvious question if he had realised that the Spanish border was still some 3.5 hours to south. It was during the interim decade during which I was managing the property on behalf of my brothers who had little interest in travelling to France from the USA that I fell in love with the property and decided to make it my home. It was a radical transition moving from the many African countries in which I had worked to rural France, but, like my father before me, I have no regrets.

I lived near St Claud for a few years and learned about five or so years ago that the commune was 60% non-French.
