The current Mrs Swoop is off to Superdevoluy next week, skiing with 5 of her mates. This was booked before we met, hence why I'm not going with her.
I urgently need the number of a florist local to the area so I can get some roses sent over on valentines day and the internet isn't being very helpful, especially what with me not speaking a word of the lingo. Plus I don't have a full address so I really need a local florist who'll know what I'm talking about rather than booking online through interflora.
Can anyone help?

There is no flowershop in Superdévoluy AFAIK, only ski-related shops, a few restaurants and groceries.
List of shops in Superdévoluy (in french, sorry) (http://locations2vacances.free.fr/Superdevoluy_commerces.pdf)
However, www.foliflora.com (http://www.foliflora.com) is able to deliver there. In french only too, I'm afraid. Click on the red "Saint-Valentin" link in the left frame. PM me if you need help to order.

Doh... You need the complete address, I should have read your post completely before answering. Maybe you can have the flowers delivered to the appartment renting office?
-
Better check the local hospital address aswell as a backup incase dare I say it she hurts herself in anway. Heaven Forbid. :p
Now anticipating that and getting flowers there will be even more impressive.
Come on Frenchies swoop needs You!

The nearest florist in the yellow pages is an Interflora about 100mi away. You'd have to find someone who lives there or is familiar with Superdevoluy.
Valentine's a week away, so if you don't find anything by week's end I might make a few phonecall to see what I can get out of the locals for you.
Corrine's Boutique or the Tourism Office might know..
-
you would better get her adress and use interflora

Those are the 10 closest. For more of em, go to
http://www.pagesjaunes.fr/trouverlesprofessionnels/index.do
In the "Quoi, Qui" field put "Fleuriste"
In "Où" field put "Superdévoluy"
Check the box with "à côté de...?" next to it
When you get the results page, there'll be a link that says "Trier par distance", click it to sort the results by distance...
DeSelys lives a lot closer than I do, so he can probably afford more phone calls over there than I.. Let me know if you need any help though, or if the above doesn't work. It's a week from now, so you should be good.

2 questions:
- Just how many "previous Mrs Swoops" are there?
- You met and married a woman in the time between she booked a holiday and the date of the actual holiday?
-
Gime her addy, I'll deliver them myself ... and take my tip as I see fit:t

He didn't say Mrs. A****...he said Mrs. Swoop.
Big difference.
-
Swoop,
Contact the resort directly and ask them. Most hotels are used to handling these requests and know the local florists and wine suppliers.
We get a lot of these requests in valentines day at the travel agency I work at, we always call the hotel first, speak with the concierge or manager first (dont ever trust front desk) to get it done..if the hotel does not offer the service themselves they can at least tell you where you can call to get it delivered to her room.

1st, :aok for the romance
& 2nd, depending on the hotel she is staying at, you could call the concierge desk. I did that when my wife first came out to D.C. for a job interview when we were living in California. The Concierge helped me set up the whole thing with a local florist and even arranged to have them waiting for her in her room.

you need to book a flight and deliver them yourself.
