Lille Expat Community for Lille Expats

Welcome to the Expatriates Lille Community!

Salut! We welcome you to our Lille expats community! The InterNations network aims to support you when moving to or settling in Lille: Connect with fellow expatriates in Lille, receive helpful advice and information about expat life in France and join our InterNations get-togethers to meet up with other expats from the international community in Lille.

A visit of our community for Khobar (Eastern Prov.) Expats is recommend if other InterNations chapters across Western Europe are of interest for you. Or your next business trip takes you to our Jeddah Expats chapter…

Enjoy your Lille Expat Experience

"Rijsel", an alternative name hinting at the Flemish part of its local history opens its intercultural doors to you, beginning with its attractions such as the "Vieille Bourse", now a picturesque market, the traditional celebration of France’s Bastille Day, to savoring a dish of foie gras. The InterNations network is a place made for the Lille expat and offers insider tips and opportunities to ensure that you can make the most of your life as an expat in France. Our members are looking forward to offer their advice and knowledge from experience when you come across one of the many questions about the life as an expatriate in Lille, from ʺHow proficient do I have to be in business French?ʺ to ʺWhich essential etiquette rules should I know for business lunches in france?ʺ
