I heard about Labat as cheaper for the same brands (it's in Pau near bd de la paix).
I also have Neufbox from SFR. Not bad except that because I'm out of Pau (550m!!) I have the slowest connection ever (good for basic stuff but not for downloads)....
Margaret,
Hi again.
I am a fan of SFR because, for the fixed sum of €29.90 per month, I have broadband internet unlimited, plus unlimited phone calls to fixed lines almost anywhere on the planet (certainly where I know people) plus French televisi...
Oh and Conforama too sell white goods.
Hi Margaret. Hope you are settling in OK and finding your way around. We bought our white goods at Boulanger opposite Castorama, near Lapeyre but there is Darty and Auchan and probably the large Leclerc near the University to name but a few.
Thanks Sharon - I will call you soon. Any thoughts on the best place to buy whitegoods (cooker, fridge, washing machine) ?
Hey Margaret! We were just talking about you today and wondering what was happening! I only have experience of France Telecom and Orange who are not wonderful but at least can't blame any other server for their problems! Do contact me when you are...
Hello All,
We will be finally arriving in Pau on 20th of this month after much uncertainty. We have found a house to rent in Uzos.
Now I need some advice - we need to sort out Telephone/internet/TV - can anyone recommend who is best (and speediest...
Margaret,
I am not sure how to say this without seeming pushy, but you have found one!
My wife, Sharon, and I bought a well-established agency in Pau just last January. And whilst we are also relatively new to the area, we would be more than hap...
This group meets every other Monday morning at 10am for walks of approximately 2 hours' duration.
Can anyone recommend a good estate agent in Pau? We will be looking for rental initially but are interested in buying when we know a bit more about the area.
Thanks in advance

- Hi Margaret. I sent you an email a few days ago about your visit. Did you see it? If not, I'll send it again. It was telling you about the walk on 8th June etc. Looking forward to meeting you when you come to Pau.

- Take a look on the Forum under APP for the explanation about Winifred Riddle. In short, I banned her from the site which is why you can't find the message. I don't think you would have wanted to anyway!

- The only info I can come up with at the moment is that we definitely steered clear of the west of Pau as there is a large plant (gas I think) at Lacq and when the wind is in the Pau direction, it can get quite nauseous. If you choose the south of Pau, direction Gan and Oloron, the traffic can get quite heavy at times. Why don't you start a discussion on the forum and that way you might get the views of other members? Any sign of the granchild yet?

- Hi Margaret. I will do some research on your questions and get back to you! We actually live 10 minutes from Soumoulou on the way to Tarbes. We are in a village setting so very quiet but that leaves us 30 minutes from the centre of Pau. It depends what you want. We wanted the peace of the countryside within striking distance of a big town and that's what we've got. We didn't want to live on a "lottisement" (housing estate) because everyone is too close to each other so we have loads of space with a spectacular view of the snow covered Pyrenees and an uninteruppted view of the countryside. Let me know where you think you might want to live and I'll try to help if I can.

- Hi Margaret. I expect you are up to your eyes in packing at the moment. If there is anything we can help you with, just let us know.

- Hi Margaret. Welcome to our Community page! You will find the Anglophones association very useful in helping you to settle in to life in France. We have almost 100 paid up members (23 euros a year for families) and most of us are able to help out with recommending doctors, dentists, reasonably priced French courses etc. Do keep in touch and I look forward to meeting you later in the year.
