Does any one know of an English speaking dentist in depth 36? Preferably not too far from Las Chatre

My father lives here in France, he has his health cover, but he earns too much for CMU, so he needs probably private health cover as top up, the problem is he will be 80 this year, the bank won't give him cover, i see by this site, some don't cover over 65, does anyone know of a company,that will insure him, he is only just over the platform to receive CMUC, so not loaded !!

My father is 79, he has lived here for 8 years, he has a carte vital, does anyone know the platform to be entitled to CMU ? He on a state pension from the UK.
