If you think you are still in time and want to make an official complaint, there is an enforcement authority in each EU country that will chase after the airline for compensation for you.
Silent Bob Jerkero has asked me to give you this link to the Complaints Form.
http://ec.europa.eu/transport/passen...ts_form_en.pdf
You print this form and mail it to the enforcement authority.
Here is the address of the enforcement authority in France.
