  1. We arrive in Laroque on Sunday afernoon and will need to get some provisions in - can anyone advise if the Champion supermarket on the outskirts will be open at that time?  As we really don't want to have to go into Perpignan after travelling for nearly 12 hours [ long drive to Stansted from Wales, then RyanAir]. Regards,  Ann McClean
  2. [quote user="Clair"]Yes they do, it's an EU thing... [/quote]   Many thanks :) Ann
  3. We are travelling to Honfleur for a long weekend on 22 March - that is also the weekend Britain changes to BST.  Silly question - do the clocks also move on in France that weekend?   Regards,  Ann
  4. [quote user="Cassis"]Looks like that website has gone toes up. [/quote] Sorry about that.  Our landlady did tell us the property was for sale before we left ...........................  As regards the deposit, the electric meter was checked, she asked if there had been any problems or breakages [we had broken one glass, but that was replaced] and we were given our money back.    
  5. [quote user="Jenny P"]What do other gite owners consider reasonable as a security deposit ?  For the past three years we have asked for 150 euros as damage deposit, by cheque which we hold and send back after we have inspected the property. This year we have decided to increase it but are not sure to how much.  700 euros seems excessive to me. Jenny   [/quote] We have just returned from 10 days in the Limousin, staying near Bellac -  http://www.absolutely-elsewhere.com Our security deposit was E160, payable on arrival, along with balance of rent, in cash :)  Having dealt with both UK based and French based landlords, either privately or through an agency over the years, paying the Security Deposit on arrival, and receiving it back on departure has always been the norm.
