First Rate FX out and about in France !


We have been getting around France , speaking to various business groups, meeting our affiliates, and exhibiting at shows and fairs.  


‘Faire Play’ 


This Fun Day was an initiative to help integration of French and English people living around the popular Normandy town of Vire .  It was a great day, the sun shone, and it was a pleasure to see so many of our clients and affiliates at the event.  Thank you to all who took part in our Prize Draw. The winner of the champagne was Madame Duchon, and Madame Besnier won the France coffee-table book.  Thanks also to fellow exhibitor Andrew Burley of Andrew Burley Conservatories , Normandy , for drawing out the prize-winners’ names.


Anglo Info Brittany – ‘Living and Working in Brittany ’  


This 2 day event was held in the centre of Brittany at the end of September.  We very much enjoyed taking part in this annual event, where we met up with clients and affiliates old and new.  We look forward to doing business with the extensive Brittany-based expat community.


We had our usual Prize Draw, and a case of fine red wine was won by Lena Moran of Morbihan (56).  A votre santé,

Lena !

Did you know?


1 November is a public holiday in France for  ‘Toussaint’ or All Saints’ Day.  It is when French people traditionally take flowers to lay on the graves of their family members.  All churchyards are ablaze with gold, red, white, purple chrysanthemums.  This is why chrysanthemums are not the best choice as a gift in France ….

 


Skysouth


We are pleased to have sponsored the in-flight advertising brochure for the Skysouth airline, currently the only airline flying to Normandy on a daily basis.   If you would like to advertise in this brochure, ask any of the First Rate FX or Skysouth teams.
