An update folks on the language service in Lathus.
I took a load of tripe from our insurance company, including an unnaturally long questionaire, to Luce and she had me sorted within half an hour. Funnily enough, I thought I understood most of it but I got the wrong end of one fairly vital question simply because it had that hated double negative in it.
Good chat - plenty of goss as well about Montmorillon and surrounds - and free of charge.
Lovely lady. At a guess, she is mid to late 70s, Belgian and shares my hatred of all things involving paperwork in France. In fact she hates French bureaucrats so she'll do for me.
You don't have to live within the confines of the commune of Lathus to see her. BUT make an appointment first and if it's form filling that has you baffled, take a good few photocopies of the original with you. She will fill in the form for you so can scribble away on the original later in the privacy of your private chateau. This is France after all.....
By the way, her name is pronounced "Loose" and not "Lucy" in case you think the spelling is some stange continental form of English.
