Lost passport - help

I’m currently at my parents house in France, due to travel home to the UK on Tuesday. I’ve lost my passport. I’ve torn the house apart today and can’t find it anywhere. Please help me with ideas of where to look. Places I’ve looked so far:

Inside my car and my parents car

In my room, including emptying the wardrobe, chest of drawers, bedside tables, long high shelf in my bedroom. I’ve looked under them all too, including the bed. I’ve emptied and repacked every bag etc too.

My Mum has checked her mezzanine landing (set up as office) and her bedroom.

The upstairs attic has been checked, all chest of drawers etc looked inside.

The living room/dining room - all drawers, shelves etc have been searched.

It definitely came into the house and was in the living room for a while, before we think it was taken upstairs.

I’m completely panicking and very very stressed about it 😳😢

In your printer scanner ? Or in a suitcase / travel bag / handbag?

A few people have mentioned St Anthony (patron saint of lost things). It sounds mental but has worked for me in the past. Say the prayer and name if the lost item and continue searching. It will appear, usually in a place you’ve already looked !

Promise st Anthony money (I give it to charity)

Look inside the cars again with a torch.

What happened in the end? Did you get an emergency issue or find it?

Is sounds as if other people have come and gone over that period? Am I right? If so, could you phone round other people who have stayed and ask them to check their bags?

Secret zip section of handbag or backpack?

I don’t understand why you’d wait until the day you’re supposed to be travelling to start the emergency replacement process?
