The wording I can help with is M-A-I-R-I-E, not Marie. Marie is the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus. I know it is hard to get it right, but they will like it if you do. Good luck with the rest.    Report

I also took a trip to our local Customs office to obtain the relevant license, the person I spoke to there insisted that I only need a Class 1 License & that I obtain this from the Mairie. After a 24 hour wait, I have the application form from the Mairie but do I only need a Class 1 license if we are serving alcohol with evening meals ?    Report

D. 324-15  which tells them to give you said receipt. You need to stick to your guns on the receipt thing as I know of one office where they are saying they will send the owner a letter of confirmation and nothing has turned up. Personally I filled the form in and copied it then took both to the mayor and got him to sign and date the copy there and then.   http://www.chambresdhote.com    Report

Anyone any idea of the class of license I need to serve wine & beer with evening meals ?, as I mentioned above, the Customs officer said Class 1.    Report
