Looking for French Expats in Madrid?

We asked tens of thousands of expats about their experiences of living abroad as part of our Expat Insider surveys. In addition to answering our standard questions, participants shared what they liked or disliked about life in their host country. Here, we selected some of the most interesting and representative comments from French living in Madrid. We have grouped the quotes into positive and negative experiences - starting with the things they enjoy most about the city.

Now let's move to negative reviews of expat life in Madrid

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys among expats — asking them about various aspects of their life, from work to leisure. Learn what motivated our French members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.

InterNations is a place where French expats in Madrid exchange experiences and tips to support each other. Spain's capital, named "Mayrit" - the "Giver Of Life"- by the Arabic conquerors , can be a great place for expats - our community helps you make the most of your experience!
