I have been trawling through the various threads to try to find an answer to this original question. This thread is 2 years old so I'm looking to see if anything has moved with respect to France - especially as EASA regulations will be coming into force in 2012. I have a UK issued JAR CPL/MEP/IR/FI. I'm very much a francophile and would love to live over there instructing. I know it's been done before and I'm will ing go through the 'pain' to get it done. I just need to know how to go about it. Any help greatly appreciated.
