Frequently asked questions
What is the best prefecture appointment alert service?
The best service ticks every box with no compromise: email and SMS, all prefectures, no install, several languages and a money-back guarantee. That is what Rendez-vous Préfecture offers.
Is a browser extension or an app better?
An extension only watches while your browser is open on the right page, and an app requires installing. A web service like Rendez-vous Préfecture monitors continuously, with nothing to keep open, and alerts you by email and SMS.
What about free Telegram bots?
Telegram bots often rely on volunteers, with partial coverage and a single channel (Telegram). A dedicated service offers nationwide coverage, several channels and service continuity.
Is the prefecture appointment paid?
No, the prefecture appointment is free and booked on the official website. An alert service only saves you time by notifying you the moment a slot opens.
