EASA PPL to UK CPL/fATPL

Hi All

First post on here.

I am interested in pursuing a CPL/fATPL via the Modular route.

I am currently resident in Switzerland but plan to return to the UK in the medium term.

There is a flight school over the border in France that offers reasonably-priced PPL courses in English. I have seen mention on here that it is possible to get a EASA PPL and then go on to pursue a UK Modular CPL/fATPL. I would welcome any information or experience people may have about how this works as I understand one needs a UK license to fly G-reg aircraft in the UK so presumably a French-issued EASA license would restrict me to hour building in EASA countries? Would this experience be valid for applying for a UK CPL/fATPLin the future?

Does anyone perhaps have a link to the section of the UK CAA website describing the process (if one exists)?

Would it be simpler to get a UK PPL? I am open to this but exploring the EASA route seems worthwhile as it would be significantly more convenient.

Thanks in advance for any advice or replies.

Best regards
