We followed this with paying our inscription at our tourist office where they will add us to their appropriate material and website. Our only question that we forgot to ask (though we will see GdF next week) is are there choices for the type of plaque that you can have (sizes, material etc) and if so does anyone know roughly what the costs are. Many thanks: PS: By the way our inspection was by Sylvie Lacave from Toulouse with two other GdF CdH owners from our region. I must say they were very professional and friendly and certainly made us feel very welcome.    Report

The prices are amazingly low.  You need your GdF affiliation number to order. Or telephone 05 55 32 06 32. Please note that unless the sign is 50 feet high and in neon then visitors will not spot it unless you smack them in the face with it as they drive past.

Does any know about purchasing old second hand GdeF signage? I've heard it exists! W Rat    Report
