7 photo's for Frensh card!

no experience... probably: get a car

Car

This is information about how to bring your (Dutch) car to CERN and drive it legally... Decide where you are going to life first. You need an adress in France or Switzerland to start any procedure. For help on the issue there is the Human Resources and the folks at building 33 (above the micro-cosmos) are very helpful.

Switzerland

Once you have an adress, you will have to go to customs at the border (near entrace B) and import your car. With the forms you get, you can then go to building 33 and they will order the Swiss plates for you.

France

Once you have an adress and the French card, you can go directly to building 33 and order the green plates. At the moment they will take about 8 weeks.
