marple

Thank you to Daft Doctor (I think) who supplied me with the link for looking at Lycee results after I stupidly sent a private message instead of posting.  I tried to send a return e-mail 'thank you', without success. Here's the link for anyone else who's interested: http://indicateurs.education.gouv.fr/rechercheg.php  

We have been with Credit Agricole Limousine-Perigord (Champagne Mouton branch) since August 2005 and all was fine until last August.  We haven't recieved statements since then and the cheque book ordered in January has never materialized despite numerous requests and complaints in person, by letter and e-mail to the branch and head office.  The manager even took a statement and kept saying he was so sorry but needless to say that was the last we heard.  I asked for Internet banking and that was never set up either.  My french isn't fluent but I am capable of holding a conversation so that wasn't the problem.  Also the account has sufficient funds coming in. We opened an account with La Poste in March and they are fantastic.  I have left the CAF money going into the CA account which then pays standing orders.  I would like to close the account but need to use up the money first as I think they might be very difficult if I ask to close it. An English speaking representative might be helpful but I feel the problems are with the whole system and the ethos of the bank not needing to care about the customer.

You could try Parc Asterix which is on the eastern side of Paris.  Plenty of white knuckle rides and other things.  I think they also have a hotel. www.parcasterix.fr/  I've been to Disneyland Paris and didn't think it was anywhere near as good.
