Finding an Artisan in France

It is inevitable that if you have a holiday home in France or residing in the country as an expat, you will need the services of a plumber, carpenter, etc. at some point! Perhaps you will be lucky and a neighbour or friend will be able to recommend somebody - perhaps the best policy! However, there are occasions when you are left scratching your head.

What you are looking for is a trusted artisan. Most departments have an official Trades & Crafts Chamber which are committed to delivering Quality. However, the problem is often these sites are in French!

Well, the situation is changing and as the number Brits and English speaking expats are increasing, more departments are offering an English section to the website. So congratulations to all such chambers. Here is an example from the Aude:
