The British Consulate has quit Midi Pyrenees and moved to Bordeaux (Aquitaine region). At a time when the new big region has come into being its capital, Toulouse, is being deprived of a resource not only valuable to exiles (estimated to be about 6000 in the region) but to local businesses wanting a point of contact with the UK government. The Depeche du Midi reckons that the Lot and Gers departments are particularly favoured by Brits, with 45% of recent foreign incomers being British.
