We went to Chaumont to collect my 10 year visa. Andy collected his last year as over 65 he had lived here long enough to get it without any language test. I had to sit the test. I did my TCF in Chaumont to achieve the level of French I needed. Whew. I did it and when I collected my actual visa I was in and out in literally 30 seconds. This prefecture is amazing. Hands down the best prefecture in France. Not that I've experienced others but I've read enough horror stories visa wise. Now we are basically French citizens (without the right to vote). Our visas are easily and naturally renewable they come up in 10 years time. So Andy and I basically have the right to live in France for however long we like with health care and old age care. That's pretty cool. We celebrated with oysters as fresh as they get which Andy shucked. Cheeses and bread with an amazing Burgundy we had stored in the cave. The thing that stole the show was the goats cheese, it was a cheese fondue. Melting and delicious. It all looks very simple but ..... YUM. and yay!!
