    After work I enjoy meeting other Brazlian expats offline. We go for a beer together and it feels like home. Thanks InterNations.

A Picturesque Town in Northern France

Lille may not be one of the best-known of France's major cities, but there's no question that it can rival the best of anything Bordeaux, Marseille or even Paris have to offer. Post-industrial regeneration, along with superb transport links thanks to the Eurostar, has given a once-bleak town a new lease of life. Visitors can now expect to find stunning cuisine, great museums and galleries, and all of the best that France has to offer without the inconvenience of life in the south or the expense of Paris. A vibrant and transforming economy has helped attract expatriates from all over the world, who are coming for plenty of reasons besides just work.

InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Abu Dhabi or Dubai, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.

A Warm Welcome to Newcomers in Our Expat Community

As well as being knowledgeable and experienced, our members have gone through an approval process first to give you the best experience possible when interacting with the group or asking for advice. Once you've joined and made a few posts in our forum, had some of your questions answered, and connected with people online, you can also take things a step further — our members organize a wide range of offline activities and are always delighted to meet new members, whether it's sporting activities or something a little more cerebral you're after. Our larger, official events in Lille always attract huge interest, too, so be careful you don't miss them!
