What changes about life in France from November 2018
|
 [The Local fr] Next month's list of what changes in France contains important information for Ryanair passengers, those who rent apartments and anyone who uses gas.
Ryanair to charge for cabin luggage
The Colmar artist 'Hansi' depicts the departure of a German soldier from the Alsace circa 1918.
Ryanair have services to and from 31 different destinations in France so this is potentially important information for many passengers.
From November passengers on Ryanair flights will still be allowed to take one "small personal bag" into the cabin, as long as it will fit under the seat in front.
The size limit has been set at 40cmx20cmx25cm.
But they will have to pay if they also want to take a 10kg bag, such as a pull-along suitcase, on board (unless they reserved their ticket before August 31st, this year).
Passengers will have to pay €8 for the cabin luggage if they include it in their reservation or €10 if they pay online at a later date.
If you don't pay the fee online in advance you will have to pay €20 at the bag drop at the airport or €25 euros at the boarding gate
Ryanair insist the move is not aimed at making money but was intended to "improve punctuality and reduce boarding gate delays".
Winter truce begins
Landlords in France might not enjoy November although those tenants in trouble for not paying their rent can breathe a sigh of relief.
As of Thursday November 1st the annual winter truce (treve hivernal) , as it is called comes into force which basically forbids landlords and courts from evicting tenants until the weather warms up next April..
What is the truce exactly?
La trêve hivernale runs for five months from November 1st and marks a period when French landlords are not legally allowed to evict their tenants for any reason.
The truce is meant as a humanitarian measure to ensure people don't become homeless and end up sleeping on the cold winter streets.
Basically the end of the truce coincides with the arrival of spring and warmer weather.
From April 1st, police or bailiffs can start carrying out eviction notices that have been piling up throughout the winter months or weren't carried out before the truce came into effect.
The rules of the truce also prevent landlords and providers from cutting off gas and electricity to tenants during the time period. Although it doesn't cover those living in squats or buildings deemed dangerous.
Gas prices
Bad news for those who use gas to heat their homes and for cooking. In November tariffs with the provider Engie will rise by an average of 5.79 percent from November 1st compared to prices in October.
The breakdown of the rise in gas prices will see those who use gas just for cooking pay around 1.9 percent more, those who use it for cooking and hot water will pay around 3.6 percent more and those who use gas to heat their homes will have to fork out around 6 percent more.
