Tips and Advice on France from Your Fellow Japanese Expats

Obviously, expat life in France goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow Japanese is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the French mentality and way of life. Japanese in France are a part of our community, calling cities such as Lyon, Nice, Paris, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow Japanese in Paris, for example.

Wondering where to shop for Japanese delicatessen, want to discuss your national team's latest match, or simply talk to someone in your native language? Become a member of the French InterNations Community!

  • Our network is the best place to meet expats from Japan.
  • On the France Expat Forums, you can get competent answers to all your expat-related questions: how to find a babysitter fluent in your mother tongue, where to get sushi and sashimi in Paris, etc.
  • The InterNations Places database for France has information on the nearest Japanese embassy and many other institutions.

From the salty marshland of the Camargue to the Loire Valley, also known as the "Garden of France", you can meet supportive and friendly Japanese expats in France on InterNations.

Meet and Mingle with Fellow Japanese in France

Additionally, InterNations hosts regular expat events and activities in France. Our get-togethers are sure to cater to your taste as well: as a member, you can partake in cozy gatherings to enjoy some French foie gras, join one of our huge expat celebrations with hundreds of participants in Paris’s best locations, and much more. Want to discover France? Go on a weekend trip with your fellow expats to see Brittany's rocky Atlantic coastline and other beautiful landmarks.

Our meet-ups and activities offer many wonderful opportunities to mingle with expatriates hailing from Japan and dozens of other countries in a casual setting. Just sign up for your InterNations membership and you’ll soon hear a cordial Konbanwa from our Japanese living in France!
