At gite

The address

ChezNorris, Le Bisson, Maisoncelles la Jourdan, Vire, 14500, France.

If someone writes to you the key to the mailbox (which is by the gate) is on/in the dresser with the key to the cave.

The phone number

From the UK is 00 33 2 31 66 02 17
in France 02 31 66 02 17

Emergencies

You have a phone in the kitchen. You have a phone book and Yellow Pages in the lounge.

Hospital

Dial 15. They do not send an ambulance!

Police

     Dial 17

Fire Brigade/Ambulance

Dial 18

Electricity

Power cuts happen in France. Certainly the power dims when they start milking next door. The mains switch (or rather knob) is behind the door in the Cave.

Water

If there is a water leak the mains water tap is beneath the circular thing outside the dining room window. There is also a stopcock next to the oven which will isolate the bathrooms. There are also stopcocks on each toilet and the washing machine.

Whatever

If there is any problem at all - PHONE ME!! However if it is not something I can help you with then the people who do the changeover cleaning etc are called Sean and Karin Duffy. 02 33 51 46 63. This is your English contact for emergencies. Of course if you can speak French, Bernard lives just across the valley but has nothing to do with our cottage!

You also have my phone number. Please do try to tell me if there are any problems - I'd rather sort them immediately than hear about them after you've left. 00 44 1981 541313

Oh, by the way - see if you can find the cat!
