Health first!

We were back at the CPAM office this morning. It was not like the last time we were here, five weeks ago, when it was a scorching 30 odd degrees day, today it was a little bit overcast. CPAM is where we apply for our carte vitale, which is effectively all our health cover, doctor, dentist, opticians etc. We do have a temporary social number which gives us access to the health system, but does not provide us with automatic settlement of the costs. The carte vitale will do this. For some reason, which we understand is very normal, we needed to return to provide additional documentation…again. Oh well, the interaction was good for us to practice our french. We then thought we’d make the most of the day and go into Troyes city centre for a light ‘not so healthy’ lunch.
