Find this subject so intriguing the bravery of those people unbelievable, ive read numerous books on the subject and eagerly awaiting the arrival of my latest purchase " in search of the maquis" by H R Kedward. We,ve a house near Carcassonne which we use regularly, so if anyone has any suggestions of places to visit within realistic driving distances in connection with this subject i would be very grateful.

Fully understand your reactions to poor service, this type of topic has been dicussed many times on this forun bit like marmite you either love it or hate it, fraid i,m in a needs must situation, although in defence of any carrier how do you deal with drunken passengers.......breathalised at point of departure what a shambles that would be!!

Am i the only one getting frustrated using the above site, we fly into Carcassonne and like to compare prices from Liverpool or East mids but continually get thrown out into a re-log in system which makes booking several flights a nightmare.

Decided this year to pay my "Taxes Fonciers* on line, after steering myself through the online form, managed to complete the payment and received an e-mail to confirm payment, after giving myself a pat on the back noticed the e-mail had an attachment " Adhesion au Telereglemen" Can anyone explain this form, am i right in saying i need to fill this in and send to my bank to authorise payment ,and if so can i do it electronicly. Thanks for any replies Steve

Thankyou for your responses ,and now understand the annual charge is for my " serenite account." I use this account on line to pay utility bills,insurance,and council tax,s only, so havn,t applied for a bank card to support it.So the question i ask is this an upgraded account or is there a CA account which would serve my purposes without a charge? As suggested i could shop around and have noticed a HSBC branch in Carcassonne but have been fairly happy with the service i,ve received from CA
-
I,ve just recieved a end of year statement from CA with what appears to be charges of 67,20 euro for "Cotisation CSCA serenite annuel"is this charge for card insurance or for the annual running of our account ?. Incidently we were offered bank cards last year and went into our local CA branch and had them cut them up and explained we didn,t ask or require them, we,re not over in France for another 5 weeks and would like to have an understanding of this charge before going back to the bank, any comments apreciated.....shoop

Thanks for your advice Simon, went on-line and followed your instructions, couldn,t make a transfer as its only available 8am-3-30pm, but did read the FAQ,s regarding costs which read " if your payment is under £2000 and in local currency to a Worldplay country or in Euros to a Eurozone country the charge is £9, all other payments made by sole traders will be £17, so i,ll give my branch a ring for further details.......thanks for your help Shoop

Ok Simon have i got it right, i usually top up my CA account by using the cash machines in France and physically paying euros in to avoid paying transfer charges, can i now on-line transfer money from my HSBC sterling account direct to my CA euro account without occuring charges at either end, using SEPA credit transfer?

Would have prefered the words being considerate as apposed to miserable git but your entitled to your own opinion

And to add to my last post whilst i,m on my soap box about the travelling public, the couple obviously travelling together occuping the nearside and aisle seats leaving the middle empty on a busy flight........... words fail me
-
So the great RA debate rolls on, having used them fequently for the last six years i like many other have only praise, my gripes are the passengers travelling alone who persistantly hog middle seats, and when boarding grab the first seats available insted of moving to the middle of the plane with the intent of not only getting on first but also getting off first.So like others i have little sympathy with fellow travellers who reach the departure gate knowing the rules but ignoring them.

After reading the book "love and war in the pyrenees" i,m considering on my next trip to Carcassonne a visit to memorial at the camp at Rivesaltes, my question is is it worth the trip, can you get access to the camp and where is it in relationship to the airport ,only on my last visit to Rivesaltes on the "Tourist Train" i saw no mention of the camp or directions, thanks in advance for any responses......Steve

I,ve recieved two e-mails in French from i assume different hosts, one from [email protected] asking for my details or they will suspend my card? I only use UK cards in France which are verified by visa but only for use over the internet. The second e-mail was from Service@LaBanquePostale quoting a ref number and asking for account conformation, considering the nature of this mail and i bank on-line with Credit Agricole i believe it could be a scam the question i,m asking has anyone else had such mail................. Thanks for any responses Steve

You,ve have no problem at all, actually forgot mine last week whilst travelling to Carcassonne but the Hertz office at the airport contacted DVLA for me, and they faxed a copy over, cost me £5 for the privaledge but well worth it!!!!!!!

Looking to join mitred corners of MDF skirting board, i,m advised "Mitremate" is used in the UK to good effect it,s apparantly a super glue with an activator, due to travelling with only hand luggage on my next trip i,m unable to purchase it in the UK. Is there an equivilent in France, and if so where is it available, and what is it called? Many thanks for any responses.....

Cheers Norman, didn,t want to waste those £3 flights................

I,m flying into Carcassonne friday 7th May till monday 10th May to hopefully do some work on my house in Arzens. However i,ve noticed that saturday (8th) is Victory Day which is obviously a bank holiday and i assume all the shops will be closed, the question i,m asking will the DIY shops like Tridome, Weldom etc be open on friday 7th or can anyone tell me where i can purchase laminate flooring that weekend to save a wasted journey......thankyou for any reponses
-
Must agree its in all our intrests to keep budget airlines viable, especially RA £3 each way to Carcassonne friday/moday for a long weekend, tell me thats not value for money .............. happy days

We have a polished stone/ mottled marble lookalike stairway in our holiday home we,re looking for ideas on how to clean it as it appears to have ground in dirt which ordinary cleaning materials won,t touch. Would prefer to buy the product in France as our next couple of visits will be hand luggage only and obviously carrying liquids is a no-no......thanks for any suggestions shoop

Thanks Stan, but unsure where i can access this discount code from, have seen when logging on as a member an appropriate box to insert one but thought that the Gold club membership only gave a 5% discount when booking, anymore more information would be welcome................cheers Shoop
