Having had a maison secondaire for the last 5 years, we would now like to live in France full time. To be able to do so requires that I work to supplement a military pension, and after researching the various options I attempted to register on-line as an auto-entrepreneur. Because we are in Deux Sevres (79), this is done through Guichet Enterprises, not the normal l'autoentrepeneur.fr site. Anyway about 3/4 of the way into the process I hit a block when the form required my social security number. I know that the normal site has a link to somewhere else that generates the number, but unfortunately the Guichet site just says give me your number! Never having worked in France I don't have one, so the question is does anyone have a similar experience, and how does one get the number. Help please!
