A Sea of Paper

In just about any society today, much time is taken up dealing with "the administration". Whether you're making an application for residency, registering a car or simply notifying all the relevant authorities of a new address after a house-move you're bound to find yourself gathering paperwork and waiting in queues or navigating complex websites – in French!

Administrative Affairs

AngloINFO can help you. In The AngloFILE category Practical Information you'll find links to INFOrmation Pages loaded with useful details and the contact information for the administrative offices in your region.

See the page on French Administration to find out about your local Préfecture and Sous-Préfectures

If you need to find the telephone number for your Town Hall, perhaps, or for some other local organisation (URSSAF or the CCI) you can search the White Pages or Yellow Pages online in English, it's generally much easier to use than the paper pages.

See the Telephone Directories page for easy access to the telephone books in English

Need to post off those forms and missing the postal code? Want to send a document by registered mail? Need to trace that registered letter?

See the INFOrmation Page on French Post & Postal Codes for contacts to La Poste and post code finders
