Life in France

Living or moving to France

Information about life in France, work, moving, retiring and setting up a new life in France; all you've ever wanted to know about what it is like in France.


If you are a Francophile, no matter where you live, then you are invited to join The "Sharing France" Project.

The "Sharing France" Project is a collaborative effort among Francophiles, geared towards collecting and disseminating "verbal histories" in an interesting and entertaining way.

The project has been started with the aim of collecting together first-hand experiences - of visiting, living in or working in France - and publishing them, in electronic book form, for the information and enjoyment of Francophiles everywhere; in particular those new to France.

So, do you have an amusing, sad, moving, informative or cautionary story about any aspect of visiting or living in France? Perhaps your mixed feelings about finally leaving home to live permanently in France or the vexed problem of a border dispute with neighbours; the fun of making new friends or the trauma of repairing a leaking tap at 3:00 am? Whatever the story, we'd be delighted if you came and shared it with the project.

Anyone can contribute - you don't have to be a Mark Twain or a Jane Austen - and there are no pre-conditions about length, style, or content. This is not a writing competition but an information-gathering project. If your story is interesting then come and share it with interested people!

Full credit will be given to all contributors - except those who desire anonymity - and Francophiles everywhere will be able to download the finished compilation, free of charge, direct to their PCs.

To make the project more fun, and to acknowledge your input, the first entries will receive a prize. So will the best of the contributions overall.
