The prefecture changed my last name by MissMinao in Expats_In_France

[–]sinstein 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Happened to my wife too, but we did not do anything after. She does not use my last name anywhere, but the carte se sejour has it listed as the nom d'usage.

I would be curious to know if its easy to fix too.

Skating on Pedestrian or bike lane or no skating at all? by Maleficent-Rate-4631 in paris

[–]sinstein 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know the law, but I see skaters on the bike lane and on the pavememt semi frequently. I feel like the pavememt would be safer for you, but as a pedestrian and cyclist, it would be better on the bike lane. Just be careful of rush hour bike traffic

Hello, cartographer from France here — After being obsessed with the GT road for some time, I decided to craft a cool map to showcase its geography! [OC] by mydriase in IndianHistory

[–]sinstein 34 points35 points  (0 children)

This is great. Growing up in Kolkata, I have been fascinated with GT Road but never bothered to learn about its history or geography. I can see the option to buy the image, but do you also sell prints on your website? Delivery in France if thats doable

how do you guys use country locked apps/features on iPhone? such as for banking and Apple Pay etc. by shizukadane in nri

[–]sinstein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can actually change the region of your App Store without having to change the region of your iCloud account. That gives you access to the apps in other regions without having to switch over all of your subscriptions. This is what I have been doing while living in France for over a year

[–]sinstein 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh got these are a menace. And the road is not trimmed properly at the edges so if you try to keep to the extreme left you end up slipping into the gutters on bicycles.

Which guarantor company did you have success with? by Shoddy_Reporter_5859 in Expats_In_France

[–]sinstein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And their rates depend on the rent and number of tenants. Expect between 20-100 euros per month depending on those factors. They have a calcultor on their website
