Hi Val and Malc
Happy New Year to you both.
I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking this. Why Paris? You didn't answer the question in your post - why Paris and not Toulouse. Surely as these young men are under the guidance of Montauban there should be arrangements in place there for the paperwork? Seems a lot of effort, and I'm sure, some concern on their part to have to trek up to Paris, not to mention the costs.
I hope it all works out for their journeys & good luck with the French paperwork!!

Hi Val and Malcolm
Good to see some happy boys up there!
I was wondering why it isnt possible to hire a mini-van for the guys to go to Paris to process their papers?
Surely they didnt spend all the money we raised at the theatre, on shoes?
Or, perhaps the St A Mairie has access to one ?
All best
Anne
Val says you are right Karen and Anne, it is just madness. Why not Toulouse we ask? But ours not to reason why, it is important each young man keeps his appointment. Great discussions about the rights and wrongs of this on a site "France and beyond " but apparently other people have found themselves in the same situation. Helpers at Bezier had to fund a couple to go and it cost them 500 euros!

Saying this is France as an explanation just does not seem enough. We will make sure all receipts are kept and we will try to get it refunded. We will also try looking at cheaper ways it can be done. Tomorrow I am paying 191 euros for one train fare, accommodation overnight will be provided by a second homer in St. Antonin, who spends the winter at their home in Paris.
To Anne, mini bus no good as they all have different times which we only find out about a couple of days before.
On the money front we have now just under 1,000 euros left but that will soon go.
The money raised from the theatre 750 euros was used to buy well fitting shoes ,trousers and t shirts for each one, able to spend 45 euros each.
