Pension matters

Options
Hi everyone, I am looking for advice regarding a private pension scheme I had with former Norwich Union, now Aviva I believe. It has been frozen since I left my then employer back in 2000 and is now sitting somewhere, doing nothing at least for me. I would like to know what are my options regarding this scheme. I currently live in France but am not sure whether I shall stay. Is it worth my while repatriating it and linking it with my pension scheme over here? Can I do this? what else could I do with it? Thank you for any suggestions put forward.
