LAST EDITED ON 02-Mar-04 AT 08:33 PM (GMT) My friend plucked up the courage to go by herself today and use her best French to ask for a carte de sejour. The lady behind the counter insisted that if you are English these are no longer required. This was at the Prefecture in St Lo. She informed her that she wanted to register her Chambres d'hotes and thought she needed the carte de sejour to do this. No, she insisted, just your passport! No doubt when she goes to register her business, someone will insist she have a carte de sejour anyway!
