Re: Moving within France
As an update, the announcement on the centralized Gouv.fr site went like a doddle, but a couple of "obscure" French pensions weren't covered and I had to inform them snailmail.
After unsuccessful attempts on the Orange site and help-line, I finally discovered from a human being in the Orange boutique in Montpellier that the line is cut 10 days after the date of cancellation. No need for a Registered Letter, you can cancel on-line or via the help-line, which I duly did, and they send you a Bon de Transport to return the LiveBox (still waiting for this....) within 30 days. I can return it the day before the move, perfect! But I've discovered that my Wanadoo (= Orange) address will only be accessible for 6 months after the cancellation, so another list of people to inform, not included in the Usual Suspects, has had to be created! D-Day is approaching fast, but IMO the worst has been done, the rest is physical.... ;) |

Re: Moving within France
Hi, all! Just a quick update to say that, after a few days visiting DD1 in Berlin, I'm getting my act together in Strasbourg. A few hitches with computer and internet, but they've been ironed out by the helpful staff (I'm in a Résidence Séniors....) and I'm back in the cyberworld.
I also got the staff to call Electricité Strasbourg for me, otherwise all the Administrations/Organisations seem to have dealt with my move. DD2 now has the car in Lyon and she can change the Carte Grise when she wants - for the moment, I'm still the official owner.... For the moment, I feel as though I'm on holiday in an AirBnB, but I'll miss my rural village when it dawns on me that this is now Home and that I'll only be going there for holidays.... OTOH, I'm sure I'll enjoy life here!:) |
