Does anyone have any experience of winding up a gite/b&b business but continuing to access French healthcare? We sold our gite business last year but we still own a small village house which we rented out for short breaks. We have now let the house to a long term tenant but of course this means that we cannot continue with our AE/MicroBic* status. We have spoken to a local financial advisor who was a little vague and suggested that we should seek our doctor's advice! Has anybody been in the same situation and if so, how did you proceed? I understand that we have a years grace so the situation isn't urgent at the moment. OH does do contract work from time to time so it may not be a huge issue but can anybody offer any useful advice or pointers? We are both below retirement age. Thanks in advance.
*Apologies if these are not quite the current terms - OH is the native French speaker so I am lucky that he usually deals with all that sort of stuff.......

Anne, if neither of you is now employed or self employed and you don't have a UK state pension, you'll need to apply to CPAM to join PUMA, the universal health care system that replaced CMU-B last year.
