+JeeperMTJ Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Hi, my name is Martin (aka JeeperMTJ on gc.com) and I am looking for a partner to complete the Sister geocache (GC4226). As Pérols near Montpellier is the sister city of my hometown "Flörsheim am Main" in Germany I was wondering if anybody from this area is willing to do this with me. You can find more information about the sister geocache here: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...decrypt=y&log=y For anybody planning a vacation in France: Pérols is located in the departement Hérault (34) with the postal code is 34470, Région Languedoc Roussillon. Coords are: 43° 33' 51" , 3° 57' 15" or 43.5644 , 3.9544 Of course I will provide fotos and coords from Flörsheim for you own log. Hope to hear from anybody soon. rgds, Martin Quote Link to comment
+sTeamTraen Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Hi Martin, I estimate there are about 50 active geocachers in the whole of France. If I were you I'd look for people in the twin towns of Mainz or Wiesbaden. If by any chance you are about to visit Donaueschingen, I'm still trying to find a "Sisters" partner there, and that's for my nearest medium-sized town (Saverne).

+JeeperMTJ Posted December 26, 2004 Author Share Posted December 26, 2004 Hi Nick, thanks for the info. 50? That´s not much. BTW: I´m in Saverne 3 or 4 times a year at the local offroad-park. And I also have a couple of your caches on my list. "Tres Tabernae" is one of them. Small World that is. rgds, Martin Quote Link to comment
+BlueGerbil Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Great idea! 50 cachers aren´t that much, indeed. I was wondering why there are so few caches in France. We´ll try "Near the Stanislas fountain" this weekend. Quote Link to comment
+sTeamTraen Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 (edited) 50 cachers aren´t that much, indeed. I was wondering why there are so few caches in France. "Chicken and egg" problem: not many cachers, not many caches. Although it doesn't seem to have stopped other countries getting started. Also factor in population density, low GPS ownership (just try buying one), limited command of English, and Cistes. "Near the Stanislas Fountain" is a pretty cache. You can park about 100 metres away, but the hotel is closed for the winter. Edited December 30, 2004 by sTeamTraen Quote Link to comment
+BlueGerbil Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 We found the cache and placed a TB inside it. Nice location,indeed! Could someone please help the TB on his journey? Quote Link to comment
+BlueGerbil Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 (edited) There seem to be a lot of caches in France, anyway: Map Edited January 18, 2005 by BlueGerbil Quote Link to comment
