Getting the address changed on your "permis de conduir" (driving licence) can be tricky. It takes a visit to your nearest "préfecture de police". You need the right documents too, so when I found my nearest station was 50 minutes away I prepared before I left.
Envoyé de mon iPhone
- driving licence
- passport for ID
- gas bill as proof of residence
- check book, although I believe the service is free
- route plan.
So off I set. Train. Bus. And a 9 minute walk to the cop-shop.
The village was inside "outer Paris" but it did not feel like it. The streets were wide and the houses stone-built. It looked like the village had been absorbed by Paris as it grew and expanded, but that it had refused to modernise. And I can prove it. The photo below is of the police chase cars. Even non-experts can see that these are well overdue for an update.
And the address change?
Well the préfecture de police was closed. It is Saturday after all.
