Vive l'Europe!

If you ever decide to make of your car a French one (with French number plates), think twice before doing it... and take a few aspirins and vitamins too ;-)

It is pretty complicate, so many papers to gather first, then rendez-vous to take with..
the tax bureau,
the German ambassy (in our case),
the headquarters of Paris' police,
the insurance company,
a garage to make a French "technical control" (even though we had such a control in Germany 3 months ago, huh),
... and then you have to wait a few weeks to get all your new papers to finally take another rendez-vous to get the number plates.
hahum...



Once it's done, we can get out "Parisian parking card" (which is available in another bureau at the other side of Paris, naturally)

Of course, all these administrative centers open from 9.00am to maximum 4.00pm, with a good break during lunch time (to make things easier for all of us) ...

...

Today, I vote for the one who'll make our administrative life much more simple ...
