Will Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 There is an anglophone organisation known as AFACTP (L’Amitié Franco-Anglaise au Carrefour des Trois Provinces), based just over the border in 50 at Vezins, near to St-Hilaire-du-Harcouët, so not at all far from Fougères.See www.afactp.org (not a lot of information there but the current newsletter is on line).

cassie Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Thanks WillHow do I get in touch? ...Has it got a web-siteThanks Dennisg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Depends what you mean by "far", Will. It's not that close either. Mind you, it's a good road even if it's not exactly "on the doorstep"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Dennis - the web site is in my reply above. www.afactp.org.I suppose whether you consider it near or far depends on whether your glass is half full or half empty. [;-)] It's rather nearer to Fougères than the associations in Coutances or Vire, but I believe there is another in Mayenne which may be almost as close. The website I have for that is www.euromayenne.org , but that does not seem to be working at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Will, you know that I would never disagree with you "just for the sake of it". Goodness knows I have had much cause to be grateful to you for all the advice you have given me.I was only trying to point out that it's not that close so that the OP can choose to do something about it or not. I was very aware that the OP is newish to the forum and might like to know all the pros and cons.Will, I always respect your views because I know they are always considered. You do bring a touch of commonsense when you contribute. On top of that, I always enjoy your posts and look out for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 No problem S17 - just joking. Optimism is always useful in France. I quite agree with what you say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Optimism, yes, I need that more than most! Thanks for the word, Will. Sometimes I think I am in sight of losing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
