Easy séjour
We had a quite different experience from your reporter (online article) when we applied for our carte de séjour in Dordogne last month.
It involved three visits to the prefecture in Périgueux, the first to establish what documents we had to provide (20 minute wait. The second visit to produce the documents (10 mins) and the final visit to collect our cards, no wait at all.
Our cards were ready after about three weeks, and the experience was trouble-free.
