Hello,
I am a newbie to the site, something you may have already gathered from the subject line, I along with the wife (the boss) have recently moved into the area and live just outside Le Dorat.
I will no doubt be popping up on the site from time to time to ask "where can we find this or that" or "how do you do such and such" as you will have a vastly superior knowledge of such things to us (which won't be difficult)

It's census time so you will soon be getting a knock on your door.
It starts on 15 Jan and an agent recruited by your Mayor will be bringing the census to you, make sure you know who they are or ask to see their card.
You can do it yourself either on the papers they will give you or on-line.
But I get them to do it for me, when they turn up just tell them you don't understand enough and they will fill in the answers for you and all you have to do is sign it.
The agent that came last time to us was being driven around by on of the Mayors staff, and he knew all about us and the house so it was simple and painless.

Further to my earlier plea to find a good supplier of wood, I have now found one.
Hi name is Jirka Habi and he is based near Adriers. He can be found by searching for bois de chauffage, Adriers in LeBonCoin.
His wood is a mixture of oak and ash, 2 years old and priced at €45/stére. I was most surprised that he also stacked the wood at no additional cost.
He also supplies kindling at the same price.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post his phone number or email here: Fred, advice please!
Brian
Edit By Fred: Link to contact information. Jirka Habi

Hello and welcome to the latest in my seemingly endless chain of questions
My wife and I are planning to return to see family in the UK at Christmas for just over a week.
All fine apart from the fact that we have two cats over here that need either to be fed or banished to a cattery for the duration.
Andrea has found one cattery but the space available for the cats is very small - she reckons the two of them would be sharing a space about the size of a small fridge - and it's a fair drive away from base. So that's not going to happen
Does anyone:
a) know of a good cattery within (say) an hour of Montmorillon
or
b) know of someone who'd be prepared to pop over to our place near Adriers once a day or every other day to leave them some food. In return for suitable payment, of course
Thanks in advance for any help. Or even sarcastic replies...

Hello all.
This is our first proper Christmas here in France.
Do any of the towns within 20-30km of Montmorillon have Christmas markets? I've scoured the papers etc but can't find any references. Our fantastically helpful French neighbours have rather thoughtlessly gone away for a few weeks so I cant ask them!
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or recommendations,
Brian

Hi all, we need to hire somebody with
a bobcat digger or similar to dig out
topsoil to prepare for paving. The area is
5 metres x 7 metres about 30 cm soil to come
out. Should take a couple of hours tops.
The soil can be moved 50 yards down track.
If you or anybody you know can do the job
please PM us.
Would like to get the job done asap while
the good weather lasts!
Thanks for any info

Email Scam Warning!
If you get an email that looks like it has come from SFR with the heading ATTENTION!! Dump it as it's a scam.
It looks like this, and BE WARNED the whole page is a live link so be careful with your mouse.
Click this image to see full sie:
These are getting very common especially if you have an Orange Email account, there has been bank ones and social security ones, so be very careful.
My tip is to get a free Gmail account for dealing with companies in France, and another for personal use. You can have as many Gmail accounts as you wish, then just leave your Orange for stuff from Orange.

Apologies if this has been covered before. I did go through the forum but couldn't find an answer.
I've just bought a used car and need to register it. I know the process in outline and where to do it. The vendor said that the fee has to be paid by cheque and cash is not acceptable. The problem is that I do not have a cheque book. Does anyone know if the fee can be paid by debit or credit card?
I have a pool/billiard table for sale. It is 204cm long X 116cm wide X 78cm high. It comes with a plastic cover, a box each of pool and billiard balls, chalk, cues and two racks. There are a couple of small marks near one of the corners but I will show these in the photos. Price €350 ono. Unfortunately, I cannot deliver it so if anyone is interested they will have to come to La Trimouille and collect. I have photos and will try and post them here.

Now we are back to settle in Montmorillon our first
project is to get mobile! We have a hire car
for a month so looking to buy a new or near
new car quite quickly!
Anybody had any experience good or bad
with car dealers in the Montmorillon area?
We think buying a french car may be easier
for registering etc.
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated!
