Making friends with the local maire is always a good idea.

It certainly is David, we are moderately friendly with him and he has
visited our home a few times for a BBQ and supper. We also support all
municipal events including the annual ball in the square, where we all
sit on scrubbed pine tables, eat, drink and dance. I've even danced,
or tried to dance, with him but my Auvergne clog dance is not up to
scratch :-)

Ah, you're doing all the right things. We found the value of that here
in Normandy.

LOL They have such power though, don't they? I asked about an extra
window in the office when he was here and he took a look both inside
and out and said go ahead, no permission!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT I have to
have permission for a greenhouse!!!!
