France Expat Community

France Expat Community

The Expat Community France welcomes you!

Salut and a heart-felt welcome to the InterNations expat community in France! Our international community caters to your specific needs and supports you in relocating to and putting down roots in France. Living abroad in a foreign country is definitely a great intercultural experience, but typically brings up a lot of questions for the France expat: ʺWhat is the best international school for my kids in France?ʺ, ʺHow do I find a job for my spouse in Lyon?ʺ or ʺWhere in Paris can I meet fellow expats and compatriots from my home country?” Just to name a few examples…

InterNations aim is to help you, as an expat, in becoming part of the France expat community and exploring the French way of life in all its aspects: From enjoying the traditional foie gras to celebrating Bastille Day.

Next to France we host several more communities in Western Europe, e.g., our network of Belgium expats. Or you might be interested in our expat UK community which is also fairly active.

Enjoy the Expat Living in France to the fullest

With attractions ranging from Brittany's rocky Atlantic coastline to the Mediterranean climate and scenery of La Provence, France fascinates expatriates and globetrotters of many nationalities every year. The sizable expat community in France is, however, mostly drawn to the country by the urban growth of Paris and its political as well as economic opportunities, e.g. in the automobile industry. Whether you move to and live in France for professional or private reasons, you’ll surely take with you lifelong memories of great international experiences and intercultural exchange.

Furthermore, you’ll meet with other expats at our high-class InterNations Events – mixing and mingling in hotspots like Lyon or Nice, for all internationals belonging to the expat community in France.
