Don’t expect neighbours to come round with a cup of coffee if you’ve just moved in and are having the cooker plugged in. Nods of the head and formal Bonjours! are par for the course, at least in the early days. Make yourself known to the mayor, particularly if you’re in a small village which is already full of foreigners, or conversely where you may be the only foreigner. Either way it is a wise move. He or she is always addressed publicly as Monsieur or Madame le Maire.
You may decide to vote for him or her in the next municipal elections (see EC Nationals’ Voting Rights in Chapter 6). If you have an unusual property renovation/business project which requires special consideration it may help to swing the balance in your favour.
The town hall and tourist office (office de tourisme/syndicat d’initiative) are mines of information on local associations, clubs and forthcoming events, and the Service des Sports normally publishes an annual free guide to local sporting events and sports clubs.
Dynamic communities have municipal exhibition centres with a continuous calendar of painting or sculpture vernissages (exhibition openings with free cocktails): a pleasant early-evening way to socialise and enjoy art. Get your name on the municipal mailing list so you don’t miss out.
In small communities the town hall may occasionally ask you to translate something into English once your proficiency in French is recognised. It may ask you to be an unofficial interpreter if a local commemoration ceremony, such as the recent sixtieth anniversaries of the D-Day landings in Normandy and the Allied landings in Provence, involves visiting non-French speakers. On the benevolent ‘back-scratching’ principle, why not? – pourquoi pas!
