If you can stop laughing long enough to tell me how to fill this in if we were arriving Sept. 10, 2001 and leaving Sept. 12, 2001 <BR>Rather stay anonymous for obvious reasons. <BR>LOL

Surlok is correct except that it looks like they want the year in two digits, so - du 10/09/01 au 12/09/01. And don't be embarrassed. If you don't speak French and aren't familiar with their way of writing dates, there's no reason you should have known how to deal with this. Have fun!
