Hi all,
I'm sure this has been discussed before at some point but I'm hoping you may be able to help.
We had a three year plan for opening a cafe/bar in France, having bought our house last June. However, when we went to speak to the mairie's office about an alcohol licence it turned out our village only had one and the bar that was using it hadn't been open for sometime. They advised us to speak to the owner directly as he was English and find out his plans. My partner managed to catch him on his last trip to France and he has told us we can have the licence as of the end of August as he will not be opening again.
This has obviously sped up our plans and as such I am desperately trying to find out what forms and other documents we need to complete in order to set up our bar/cafe and open in June next year.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
