Running a Gite in Brittany

Printing the finished plans

Phew, I've finally finished my plans but I needed to print them on A3 because they are at 1:100 scale. I don't have an A3 printer so went into town to a print shop with Postscript 'print to file' output on a USB key but they didn't have a postscript viewer or anyway to print postscript. I thought all printers did raw postscript !!!

Ah well, a round trip back to Dinan after to converting the PS output to PDF and all was well.

I dropped the plans off at the architect with all the necessary photos for him to review before printing load of copies ready for submission.

Printing the finished plans

These are our experiences of running a gite business in Brittany, France. A gite is the French equivalent of a country holiday cottage. French culture, language, taxes and bureaucracy. Find out about our gites using the links on the LHS. This is our fourth season (2006) and we are looking forward to the summer. Stories about the road to this point will be added in due course. Renovation nightmares, builders, stress, schooling etc. Stay tuned.
