With over 200 households already part of our Association, the support network we can offer is extensive
  • When people first move, the sometimes bewildering maze of bureaucracy can be daunting but we are here to help
  • We help organise French language courses for all levels of ability and provide information on local teachers and other course providers
  • We can provide informative handouts covering the more important issues of living in France and there is a wealth of knowledge amongst our members - YOU ARE NEVER ALONE
  • Throughout the year we organise talks and discussions informing members about living and working in France. See our EVENTS page for more information
  • We organise a variety of social activities covering the full age range of our members from children's parties, family events, quiz evenings to dinner dances. Look at our EVENTS page to see what we have planned for this year
  • We issue members with a Contact List giving information about each member's interests to enable direct contact between members (you can opt not to be included in this list). This list also contains details of registered businesses run by members
  • Each member is sent a regular newsletter via E-mail or post keeping them up to date with group news and proposed and planned activities
  • Membership is open to all ages and nationalities whatever their reason for moving to France. A modest subscription is paid annually per household. Click here to print our membership form in Word or click here to print our membership form in Adobe Acrobat (click here to download reader)
