Hello people, just got back from a 3 week trip to France. Holiday of a lifetime and well deserved

 

Found this little Gem outside a museum in Tours, France. Can translate if you wish but think it's pretty self explanatory, big and old. Pity, they said I coul'nt climb it though!

 

Is anyone on Arbtalk curently working in France, as am thinking of moving there?

JPBeaver - nice work. I'd have a word with your mate, though, putting a gob in while you're still up the tree!

 

Treewarrior - belting tree. Just got back from France myself, north of Toulouse. Can't believe the miles of big Planes on the roadside that are well overdue for repollarding! Strangely I never see any tree work being carried out, although they obviously do loads (not all good!). Must have a massive bash at it in the autumn?

I watched 7 guys taking down a 50ft sycamore tree near Saumur Castle. 1 in the MEWP the rest just stood there smoking and picking up the occasional branch. They went for lunch at 11.30 and came back at 2.00pm. Tidied up, all brash in a tractor trailer and went home at 3pm. Now that's what I call a good gang of groundies.

You'd get fat working out there then lad!

 

Guy called Peter Percival (?) used to write in Essential Arb about his efforts to set up a business in France. Some good stuff, some bad.

 

Holiday all of August etc. but mainly tree work as we know it is in it's infancy when it comes to anything other than felling or pollarding.

 

Vive la difference!

Not the way I've been working recently, sweat's been pouring off me!! Still one can but dream. Would be interesting though

Doesnt get much better, a job with an ever changing view. Todays work at Alton reservoir, deadwooding oaks from a genie and looking out across the water. How many office bods can do that!
