  1. we have a 3-phase water pump at our place in Deux Sevres and needed parts for it , dis-assembled it and took the parts with us , after a few attempts(basic French at best!) we found a supplier who could help . that was in Fontenay le Compte , 79/85 border ,but most sizable towns with large trading estates should have an equivalent. the one we found 'looked' trade only but were very helpful and sorted us out no grief! reasonable price and all works now(fingers crossed for when we get there next week and try to use it again). so , if you can , take it apart and ask nicely in a few outlets. just don't ask me how to wire it up! my mate knew/guessed the wiring connections and we didn't blow up!!!!!!!!!!! pete
  2. Hi, i have often thought about this one with our booking form and also pointed out to us by our french insurer...as a fire risk it is essential that all those staying within the property must be listed and contact details provided...if say the worst happened and the place be gutted...all those listed on your booking form can be accounted for...those that are not listed however cannot. As our french insurers also explained: french nationals must have their own insurance for such eventualities individually...as we know its very different in the UK, if you rent a property and damage/fatality etc can be claimed against the owners of the property if fault is proven with the owners. Therefore i would agree with the previous posting, that you must come to some sort of approach like they suggested, or use under fire regs and insurance regs ...granny must be allocated amongst the rest of the family for her stay...you have 5 members staying and booked...but a 6th member is not insured so therefore a 6th member must contribute so you cover your rrrsss!! You can either learn from this one, or add this to your terms and conditions for your next clients...either way its a cheek. All the best Vik and pete
