Somehow I doubt that. From http://www.ambafrance-uk.org/asp/service.asp?SERVID=101&LNG=en&PAGID=220 (warning, deeply shit website): --------------------------- VISA ISSUING PROCEDURE Please note that all persons wishing to apply for visas to visit France MUST make an APPOINTMENT BY TELEPHONE before attending and submitting their documents in person at the Consulate. THE PHONE NUMBER IS : 09065 540 700 Applicants MUST NOT attend at the Consulate without first making an appointment using the AUTOMATED TELEPHONE APPOINTMENTS BOOKINGS SERVICE. The AUTOMATED TELEPHONE APPOINTMENTS BOOKINGS SERVICE is the ONLY way by which you can make an appointment. People without appointments will NOT be admitted at the Consulate. -- # Earle Martin http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?EarleMartin $a="f695a9a2176a7dd1618af6649896ee10f05ea986de18af6277e9a1d8ef4696644569a1d".
