  1. [quote user="Chrissie"]I went to our CPAM earlier this week to get an EHIC. To avoid the usual queue, I applied using the "borne" at the door. Got a printed attestation out straight away. Put it in handbag and forgot about it.

    When OH got THE LETTER, I fished out the attestation - and it is valid only until 30/4/2010. Cannot be coincidenece, but am amazed that they seem to be up to date with the new legislation already.

    Same here, Certificate Provisoire CEAM: Valid from 19/01/2010 to 18/04/2010.

    Question. Does the priority remain for a LEFT turn by the vehicle (assuming the road is clear on the opposite diection!) or only a 'merging' via a right turn? On  narrow (1.25 vehicle width) roads local to us, this could prove an interesting manoeuvre..............

    Yes, the vehicle can turn left or right.

  3. [quote user="nick16"]Thank you to those who have responded. It obviously remains a 'prickly problem'. It means I will still approach these crossings with my heart in my mouth, both eyes open,  and wondering if I should advance with caution on seeing a vehicle approaching from the right, or just stop.  I am none the wiser.[/quote]

    Check out these signs especially the 2 yellow diamond ones. You should be prepared to stop and give way, at any junction when you do not have priority.

  4. [quote user="BIG MAC"]Beware burning coal in an unsuitable hearth / firebox......It burns much hotter and can split a stove if not designed for the fuel. Some stoves can be adapted with a firebrick liner however this in turn reduces the available grate[/quote]

    sweet 17 has already said it was a dual fuel, Bois et Charbon oven.

    Have a look on pages jaunes for "charbonnier" or it may be available in small sacks, in the brico sheds at a cost, no doubt.

  5. As I said above, you do not pay TVA on the profit of the sale, it's based on the Sale price of the property you receive minus any TVA already paid.

    First of all, add up all the VAT paid for the various items

    concerning your house:

    Building company, ground works, kitchen, electricity & water

    connexions also major garden installations (i.e. terraces, swimming pool).

    --> call it Total A

     Then calculate the VAT on the sale price --> call it Total B

     Calculate B-A and you have the amount to be paid to the

    state.

     This calculation is on the basis that it is your main house and

    you are tax resident in France.

  6. "My situation is complicated by the fact that I am now entitled to an

    E121 under my own steam, as it were.  But, that's a recent thing and my

    Carte Vitale (new one with my photo) was only issued earlier this year"

    Did you apply for a new code confidential using your own new carte vitale number? The old code will not work  if you where classed as a dependant on your partners number.
