Is that all we miss?

On Burgundypulse.com we posed the question what do you miss from the UK.

It seems Fish & Chips is the one thing brits in burgundy would love to have. A good cup of tea was also on the list, with PG tips ranking as the favourite tea of choice. Baked beans were also on the list, which is a personal favorite.

It seems the more time people spend living abroad the less people miss about the UK.

Writing A French Cheque

Writing a cheque in France is very different to the UK. This week for the BurgundyPulse.com forum threw up some great advice..

So how do you write a french cheque?

Line 1 is the amount in words that you want to pay including the word euro.

Line 3 (usually with an 'a') is the name of the person you want to send it to

The box with the € means you need to write in the number

Fait a - You should write the place that you are writing out the cheque i.e. Paris

Le - Is where the date goes

Under the Le is a square blanc space, this is where you sign.

Here is an example:



Top Tip
Apparently when you write a French cheque, the date of the cheque is when the value is taken from your account. So make sure you have the funds from that date available otherwise your cheque could bounce.
