You hear a lot about the slowness of French bureaucracy, but I've experienced the opposite today.
We are unpacking the disaster to travel that is Brexit. It seems that to travel to our place in France we will need all sorts of documentation (but not a visa), such as an 'attestation d'habitation' which proves that we have a place to stay.
So this morning I contacted the maire, and within an hour I got a reply from the delightfully named Fanny Hénault, telling me what I needed, and how to get it - followed up by two further emails gicing more details (I need to supply a photocopy of a utility bill by post).
Cracking service. A local mairie for local people.

What would I know - I'm just a pathetic snowflake and feudal lord living in a foetid shithole...
