Why would you want all the riff raff down there blocking the roads up? Makes sense individually if you can afford it or have income to take with you of course.
Of course France has a very high ratio of Nuclear Power stations and access to cheap electricity. All the posturing of the anti nuke lot did for Britain in the 60's and 70's was kill our lead in nuclear technology and send us to where we are now with a row of Nuclear facilities on the opposite side of the channel out of our control and from whom we buy cheap electricity to pump water up hills at night to fry your breakfasts without power failures. Minimal nuclear industry and thus exports or infrastructure under our control so a major expense either way to use these facilities. In the meantime we burned all the handy gas in power stations and sit on our coal pretending wind power will answer all our problems. Not exactly a sensible way about doing things really.
