Moving country (France) , capital gains tax on my ISA

Im moving to France in September.
I have £22k in a UK workplace pensions and £30k in an ISA.
My ISA is in 4 companies, 3 of which have been bought within the year and are currently at a small loss, the 4th i have held since the end of 2019 and i have a significant capital gain on.
Does anyone know whether France calculates the purchase date for capital gains from when i bought the shares or when i moved to the country? Also, if i was to sell and rebuy, how long would i need to be out before i can buy back?
Finally, am i right in thinking there will be no capital gains due on my pension because i wont be selling units? How about auto reinvested dividends?
I appreciate i will need to contact a French accountant, but thought id try here first.
Thanks
Ben
