Is Jean Michel Jarre about to follow Gerard Depardeau out of France to escape the country's new wealth tax?

That's what political news/gossip site Order Order reckons. It reports this morning that:

Jean Michel Jarre, the only French global rock star, has been into Downing Street to discuss moving to London to escape Francois Hollande’s tax hikes....

In secrecy Jarre recently visited Number 10 to discuss his “defection”. The news that Downing Street is involved in discussions with another high profile tax exile from France will cause outrage in the Elysee Palace.

So, another interesting angle on Francois Hollande's ambitions.

"If he wants to move here, invest here, spend money here, employ people here, then we should welcome him with open arms. Along with any other disillusioned European entrepreneur"

No, only Technologies' headquarter. At least, that seems to me.

That suggests he's moving to England but not for tax reasons.
