France, Tours 37

Not new here, or in France, but looking for French or English players in 37 (and perhaps convention advice, saw a link for toutatis(?) in Paris)

French departments have numbers, Bezzo.

37 is Indre-et-Loire, which contains the city of Tours. Car number plates have the department number on them in France, so if you are particularly bored on a journey you can spot which cars belong to out-of-towners, and try to remember where that number comes from. I suppose that confession puts me on a par with train-spotters, doesn't it. Oh well.  :)

I have a friend in the south of France who is both a train and a voiture plate spotter..................

It is some sort of code. A post code.  :)
