Tips and Advice on France from Your Fellow New Zealand Expats

Obviously, expat life in France goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow New Zealanders 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. New Zealanders 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 New Zealanders in Paris, for example.
