More French stuff

Yesterday I received an official letter confirming the provisional French registration of my car and Mme la Facteuse also left an ‘Avis’ notifying that due to my absence, she couldn’t deliver a ‘Lettre Expert’ which needed signing for. So this morning I nipped down to the little post office in Plazac to send a couple of things off and also pick up the ‘Lettre Expert’ which, as I expected, turned out to be the registration document, the ‘Carte Grise’, itself.

So a big ‘Hooray!’ That’s another box ticked. One of the letters I sent off this morning contained the package of documents needed for my health service registration, so when that comes through I’ll have ticked everything off on my list 😀

Having done the car registration thing, I think I’ll put up a definitive ‘How To’ page on My Trike because there is quite a bit of conflicting stuff on the Internet and even the official French page I found only provided the basics and didn’t include the nitty-gritty, like having to provide a stamped-addressed envelope for the ‘Certificat Provisoire d’Immatriculation’ that came through yesterday.
