I don't have an answer for you for your question, but, kudos for creating the longest sentence I've ever seen!

You probably have to be more clear, e.g. in which country you are currently, what nationality you are and what your current immigration status is.

I am sure then somebody will be able to give you directions.

You can just go mate, no formalities from this end but you may well have to register at the local Marie (Town Hall) in Lille, most EU states require this for everyone.

Other than that, u'll need a job, and you'll need French to a decent level - unlikely u'll get a job without speaking the lingo.

Lancashire's nice this time of year!

If I could be so bold as to go into mommy mode. I suggest that you learn a bit of the language and save a bit of money before you venture out into the unknown. Do you have a place to hang your hat? Do you have a game plan at all or just wish to get the heck out of dodge? Im playing devils advocate here just to make you think about how to be successful on your new life. France has a beautiful lifestyle, but no matter where you go, if you don't have a plan, it can be bumpy and you might not enjoy things as much as you would with foresight.
I wish you the best life in France if this is where you end up.

Only asking these questions because I care for the human race and I don't like to think what could happen if you don't step off on the right footing.

i appreciate what your saying and i will think more, but at least with france it isnt to far from lovely england, i can speak a bit of french enough to have basic conversations and i have looked into it a lto and discussed it with the parentals and rest of family, do ihave to be 18 then im guessing?

I think you need to ask yourself what you are running away from. I've lived in some places and to be honest, the UK isn't such a bad place, and I'm it's number one critic...

Not knowing how another country works can be incredibly frustrating and either you can 'go native' or hate place totally and cry for Merrie England. I have.

You find yourself not knowing how to pay bills, not knowing you should registered for XYZ, finding out everywhere else in Europe doesn't have Cashback and the banks are still closed at lunchtime like they did here 15 years ago. Frustrates you 24/7!

What about Ireland?

Different country, different culture, different currency. But.. same language.

It's difficult living in a country, and trying to find a job there, when you can't speak the lingo.

Chavs everywhere mate, spend an early evening at Karlsplatz U-bahn in Vienna you'll see a lot worse than in York...

Like Jeremy Kyle gone mad, believe me....

One time in Bergedorf near Hamburg we happened on a Nazi march, the Polizei turned up it totally kicked off. Blood everywhere, it's on Youtube somewhere.

When I was in Moscow three years ago I was threatened by a Russian Soldier cos I wouldn't give him any money.

I'm English through and through, but the only place I love and I feel at home at is Scotland, I love it there. Lesson. Never any bother.
