I went to my local main dealer for the car - in my case Opel. I had to take my carte gris to prove ownership and they got me a replacement in a week.

If its a microchip key, you can get a copy made anywhere so long as you keep the old key with chip with it. so I'm told anyway

The Key man just inside LeClerc at Pons has the machine to read the code and transfer to a new blank which he then cuts. Worked for me and saved the time and expense of going to a main dealer. I know that's a long way from you but maybe a similar outlet in a supermarket near you.
