Marriage Formalities in France

This is the official word on getting married in France:

A civil marriage is mandatory in France and religious ceremonies, which are optional, are not legally binding in any way and can only be performed after the civil ceremony. To be legal, a marriage in France must be performed by a French civil authority. In practice this means that the mayor or his legally authorized replacement performs the marriage ceremony. There is a requirement of residency in France which one of the parties to be married must comply with. One of the parties must reside in the town or the "arrondissement" if in Paris, for the 30 (thirty) days prior to the marriage. In addition of these 30 days, French law requires the publication of the marriage banns at City Hall for 10 days which makes a total residency requirement of 40 days before the ceremony can be scheduled to take place at City Hall.

Needed:
French residence permit or U.S. passport
Birth certificate
Certificate of celibacy (from : American consulate)
Affidavit of law (from : Attorney licensed in both countries)
Medical certificate (from : any doctor)
Proof of domicile (check with consulate)

You should check with the nearest French Consulate for any changes.

A better idea is to just have a religious wedding in France. There would be no legal requirement whatsoever and the religious authority would just ask for the marriage license from the country where you were married.

Medoc Marathon

Marathon des Chateaux du Medoc et des Graves

It's a 26 mile run through the vineyards of the Medoc - I believe the finish is in Pauillac. Lots of runners are dressed in costumes like bottles of wine, clusters of grapes and such. Instead of water stops the runners receive wine; at about the 20 mile mark they get oysters at Chateau Lafitte Rothschild. Now that's the way to run a marathon.

Provence information

Here's some very general info about Provence:

There are two halves of Provence to see - the eastern part near Nice and the western part with Aix-en-Provence, Arles, Avignon, etc. You can do it in either direction. Drive to the area west to Aix-en-Provence, Arles others -. The whole Provence area is great. Go to Rousillon and Gordes - pretty towns. Visit all the little towns - Cabrieres, Lacoste, Menerbes, Bonnieux, others.

Aix-en-Provence is a wonderful town to stay in. Stay at the Hotel Le Manoir if you want to be right in the heart of the old town. It's a college town with lots of college aged kids. Have lunch outdoors in the old town square. Lots of restaurants. The Cours Mirabeau is one of the prettiest streets - lined with Plane Trees. There's a great market there in the old town - ask at the hotel. I think Thursday but I'm not sure.

St Remy is another wonderful town to stay in which is a little further north-west and is a better base to use to see Arles, Avignon area (Aix is a bit of a schlep to get to these towns - if you want to spend time in this area I suggest St Remy). On Tues, Thurs, and Sat the Tourist Office there gives a guided tour of the places Van Gogh painted.

Go a little north to Chateauneuf de Pape country. Then drive to the area West and North-west of Nice. Visit Vence, St Paul de Vence, Mougins, Tourettes sur Loup, Menton - drive the whole Loup and see the hillside villages. Eze is a beautiful village on the coast halfway between Nice and Monaco. It's just a matter of hitting all the villages in that whole area. Nice has a terrific market - Marche des Fleures. I don't remember the day but ask in town, at your hotel - anyone will know. There's also a great
market on Saturday in San Remo, Italy which is not a long drive at all - about 30 miles on an autoroute.

For information about the area of Provence and all the little villages, go to:

http://www.provence-beyond.com/villages
http://www.provenceweb.fr/e/provpil.htm
http://www.aixenprovencetourism.com

You have to get a Michelin map of the whole Provence area if you're driving, to see all the little towns and roads. Get Map # 245.

Rollerblading

Rollerblading is getting very popular in Paris. You can join a group at Friday Night Fever at Gare Montparnasse. At 10:00 P.M. rollerbladers take off for an 18 mile tour around the city (with police escort). It used to be a fun event, casual, all ages but has now become a very large, very fast group - many thousands of skaters. If you're not an experienced skater, you'd be better off with the Sunday skating group which is more casual and relaxed from Trocadero on Sunday 12:00 noon.

You can write for more information:

Telephoning France

You can easily dial direct, either for a phone call or fax.

All places in France have an 8 digit local number such 12-34-56-78
In addition there is a 2 digit area code such as 01, or 02 etc depending on the part of France. For Paris it's 01.

To dial directly from the U.S., drop the 0 of the two digit area code.
Dial 011-33-(the single digit of the area code)-(the 8 digit local number).
The area code for Paris is 01 so to dial Taillevent (hey, why not go for the best), local number 44-95-15-01 dial 011-33-1-44-95-15-01.
011 = international
33 = France country code
1 = Paris code
44-95-15-01 = local number

To dial from within France dial the 2 digit area code, then the 8 digit local number. So for the same call from Avignon, you would dial 01-44-95-15-01.

VAT refund

For the VAT refund you need the receipts where you have spent the required amount at an establishment - that's 175 euro and on the same day - plus have the items available in case the French customs want to see them; almost never happens but possible. The store should give you the needed paperwork. After customs stamps and stamps....... and stamps them, you mail the proper one back to the store and your credit card will eventually receive the credit. The larger stores (like Galeries Lafayette) will have a VAT desk and they'll do everything for you, tell you what to give customs, and give you the envelope to mail back - there will be a mailbox in the terminal close to the customs Detaxe desk. You should save all your receipts from all of your purchases for customs here just in case they want proof of how much you're bringing in.
