Hi Guys My name is James fromSydney, Australia. I have been traveling around Europe for about 2 years beforesettling down in France 6 months ago. As we all know France has many loves thatwe all have come to love and enjoy but coffee in France is not one of them. After not being able to find good coffee that I have enjoyed in my homecountry, I decided to start a small specialty coffee project to recreate thecoffee I love and bring a bit home with me to France. My specialty coffeeproject named the Sydney Coffee Collective had just gone live online and is nowavailable for retail via our e-shop. We will be focusing on roasting specialitycoffees from around the world, dedicated to the continual improvement ofcoffee by pushing boundaries without being consumed by limitations or what hasbeen roasted before. I welcome you all to try ournew site and to give our amazing specialty coffee a try - sydneycoffeecollective.bigcartel.com/ Thank you and I hope you allenjoy our coffee. Sydney Coffee Collective James

In protest of recent labour-law reforms, several unions will be on strike on Thursday 26 May. This strike will likely affect public transportation, taxis, air travel and ferries as well as schools and government workers. If you’re planning to travel on that date, please check directly with your carrier. In addition, recent blocades of refineries by striking unions will likely mean continued fuel shortages in some areas in France.Strikes In France A national/general strike is also planned for Tuesday 14 June which could again disrupt transportation and public-sector services.

Hello, My husband and I recently moved out of France.  We kept our French cell phone services, till settled in and got new ones, I thought there would be an easier option of closing them from outside of France, but I cannot find any information, apart from the usual sending a lettre recommandée.  I was wondering if anyone had experience with closing their French cell phone while outside of France ( we are with Free Mobile )?  Is the lettre recommandée required, and if so how do you send it from outside of France?  And also if that is the way to go, would anyone know if closing two accounts using one letter is acceptable?  Thank you very much!  Any help will be appreciated!
