Garages may do it if you bought the car from them. Try eplaque.fr, they do cartes and plates.

Re: The End of the Line?
I assumed that people were on holiday and not looking at the forum. I often check to see if anyone's asked for info or help in case I can be of assistance, having lived here quite some time.

Re: Climbing the Canigou - any recommendations?
Check before you go, there´s been a rock fall earlier this month which has blocked one of the routes. I also heard a rumor that someone´s been going round changing the route direction signs.

Re: need mini transported from Argeles to Grasse
There´s a limit on distance for towing and you can´t use a rope, has to be a bar. The trailer would be the best.

Re: Carte de séjour
Post brexit you will only be allowed to stay for 90 days in any 180 days. For a carte de séjour you need to be fiscally resident. You will also need proof of income and health insurance.

Re: Car in France
We've bought various vehicles in France, privately and through dealerships but never been asked for proof of residence. Keep the grey card on you when driving, but don't leave it in the car. The grey card must have the owners name on it.
