The Brits send their children to the local French schools.

You are in France. The children need to become part of their community. Don't bring them here otherwise.

The local school here was saved from closure because two British families moved to the village and their three kids meant the school remained viable.

My wife's nephew from Australia at 14 enrolled in a French school in Paris, and passed his BAC in French two years later.

Gosh I am SO HAPPY I got your HELPFUL message. I take it you have no idea what schools I am talking about? Its interesting also that an Australian can take the french Bac with only 2 years of french classes and around 2 years before his french colleagues!
