I would advise against it! It may seen cheap in the beginning.
1/ The french do not like the english. Its a generalisation but its hard to make friends
2/ You can only keep UK registered cars for 6 months. If you are caught after that at tolls and road blocks which are common they with fine you on the spot and impound the car, never to be seen again.
3/ You cant get any good car parts there and the post is atrocious.
4/ Any tradesmen who knows you are English will double the cost of their services.
5/ You won't get a customised car registered in France.
6/ The schooling is crap if you have kids
7/ Cars shows are minimal and rubbish.
8/ You spend most of your time and money coming back to the UK regularly.
9/ Internet is crap, slow and expensive.
10/ Power supply in rurals is temperamental.
I could go on but it brings back too many bad memories.
You get the idea
I'm going to Wales, at least its closer to England
