Should have just kept my trap shut...

TRYING to get information on the law regarding people who just want to sell something one time or so. This is for the Christmas Market in Cléguérec that Ruby and I are organising...

Can I get a straight answer out of ANYBODY??? No.

Walked over to the Chambre des Metièrs, which is where Artisans need to register. After much too-ing and thro-ing they decided it did not fall under their jurisdiction and sent me to the Sous-Prefecture.

The Sous-Precfecture decided it was definately the Hôtel des Impôts that needed to deal with the situation. Ok so walk over there....

After a 45 minute conversation involving about 10 people and at least 5 phone calls, the Hôtel des Impôts declared it was the Chamber of Commerce that needed to decide about the situation...

Another hour at CCIM and three more phone calls it is decided that the people who want to sell at the Marché Noël must register as Independent Artisans at the..... wait for it..... Hôtel des Impôts.

There must be a loophole somewhere, it's just finding it.

On the other hand, I certainly got my exercise in today....
