Kitty Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Voila! Merci beaucoup so much, BJ.But I'm quite shocked. It would appear that my nearest Chambre de Commerce is in Bordeaux, at least 1.5 hours away from me. Are they very centralised with no local offices?

Cerise Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Yes - but give them a call as they may have 'permanences' in certain places on certain days. Or ask at the Mairie, they normally know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 Thank you Cerise. I'll do that and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 So I telephoned both Chambre de Commerce and URSSAF. It was good to have the vocabulary, Cerise, and the telephone numbers, BJ.Guess what? Neither of them venture out of Bordeaux. They offered profuse apologies but they have no budget for it any longer. So we have to drive a round trip of 3 hours to sort out our businesses. No wonder our area has high unemployment. Our mairie spends thousands of euros on firework displays but none on helping set up local businesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitty Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Thank you Valerie. I wasn't entirely sure which professions were covered by which organisation. I also followed the links - very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
