About Us
The Charente Limousine Exchange was initially founded in 2003 as a small informal group of
non-French nationals living in the area who wanted to meet other people
to exchange news, views, ideas and information. As the number of
non-French nationals within the region continued to increase, and with
it an increased level of interest in the group, it was felt necessary
to put the group on a formal footing. The Charente Limousine Exchange
was formed as an Association within French law in October 2004, with a
registered address centrally located at the social centre in Confolens.
Over the last year numbers of interested people have expanded to
include British, German, Dutch, French and American members living in a wide area centered on Confolens.
The objectives of the association have been clearly defined and
concentrate on improving the provision of French language courses,
sharing experience, skills and knowledge between members, providing
information to members on living and working in France and working with
the local community to tackle practical isses relating to the rise in
non-French nationals within the region. We also organise social and
cultural activities.
The Association is run entirely by volunteers who organise a varied
programme of events throughout the year. An excellent rapport has been
established with many local authorities and we are continually looking
for ways to expand upon these relationships. One recent success has
been the launch of English language courses which have been very well
attended by local Confolentais.
With so much to offer and many more ideas to pursue, the
Charente Limousine Exchange felt it time to take to a wider audience
all the knowledge gained so far hence the idea of creating a website
was born. It has taken almost a year to develop a product suitable for
launching, but it is packed with masses of useful information. It will
be continually reviewed to ensure the information is as up to date as
possible. Whilst the site has been created in English, there is an
online system enabling translation into eight languages.
