Two days before our departure down to the Dordogne back in July friends Dennis and Angela got a call from the Prefecture to say they had to go down to Montmorillon to finalise their Carte de séjour. application - as luck would have it our planned route would take us through the town. We had a good lunch then as they went for their meeting Pauline and I sat here to wait for them after we had a walk around this pretty place.
Their meeting had gone very well and they were finger-printed, as is required and were told to await their hard earned cards. Unfortunately due to an error, first time it has ever happened apparently, Dennis' card duly arrived but with Angela's photograph! You can imagine the administration problems this has caused - Paris has had to get involved and it has meant they are now even more familiar with Montmorillon after a number of return visits. On the plus side we sampled some lovely macaroons from the town last night and they have been invited to the office's staff dance! (Only joking re the dance)
