moving.

Indeed. But if the car stays within the same dept, the same plate stays
on it. Anyway, they've changed that completely as of this January, and
have moved to a single national registration scheme with cars wearing the
same plate "for life".


Is the plate still in the same format, though, with the Département
number still being shown? Or is it a completely new system?
