THE CONNEXION’s regional newspaper in Normandy, The Advertiser, is supporting a free series of seminars for anyone in the area with questions about making the most of their retirement.

The talks, in English, will look at pensions and financial planning, health insurance, taxation, how to find a retirement home or get home help, and ensuring your will is up-to-date.

The sessions take place on March 8 from 14.15 at the Restaurant du Délice in Gavray (61) and on March 12 at 14.15 in Bellefontaine Park between Vire and Sourdeval (61).

A free cream tea is offered. For full details of the programme and speakers and to sign up, see the website or call PWT Overseas on 06 84 74 26 02.
