Rambouillet

Two funny guards at the Chateau.

this is me after all of the unpacking...

After chasing the ducks...

Everyone is your friend when you have bread.

You have to be like Diana the huntress, when you deal with the french bureaucracy. We went to the sous-prefecture (sub branch) for my green card, when you move you have a week to change your address details. We waited an hour (with two noisy kids) and got our papers in and all was well. When you check the website they give you a list of documents you need, then it's not until you get there, they tell you the other documents you also need. Luckily for us, Hubby had all the extra papers we needed. This is "the french way"...All was well until, they rang later that day saying I needed to go back and sign a paper... So I went back the next day. It's only 15km away, so that was okay... but still. This is also "the french way".
