Hello and welcome!

Are there any places that you can recommend to meet other expatriates in Paris?

You might already have some experience of life around there; can you give any advice for newcomers who want to meet people to go out and discover Paris? Are there clubs, groups, or places that are helpful in meeting new people?

Thanks in advance for you tips and for sharing your experience!

 

Siberian girl is looking for English-speaking friends

Hi everybody,

Here is the situation: I'm Russian girl living in Paris (have been here for 6 years already).
I used to speak English quite well, I even tought English during some time years ago back in Russia (brought songs by Radiohead and U2 for my students to listen to in class)... But now I'm here and most of the time I speak French which I can speak really fluently now with quite little accent (oh, I will never get rid of it...), I haven't forgotten Russian which is my mother tongue and I talk in Russian with my Russian friends and my mom regularly, but my English... it has been abandoned. I can read in English perfectly well and translate from English, but when I try to speak English c'est une catastrophe. Because a good part of its vocabulary is just buried under all this masse de français and I really want to dig it out... Anyone to help me with this?

A few words about me: 33 years old, Virgo, introvert, sensible to the beauty of this world and plenty of other things, love music (Sigur Ros, Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, RHCP, U2, Chicane, Dead Can Dance, Alpha, Jamie Cullum, Sinatra, etc etc in post-rock, rock, jazz, trip-hop, chillout, depending on the season and my mood), films ("The Piano" and "The Princess and the Warrior" among the favorite), books (Tolstoy, Kundera, Marquez, Sagan, Hesse, Nothomb...), have a sense of humor and maybe have a weakness for parentheses

 

Hi, I will prove a similar answer I provided for the same question about France. A good way for expatriates to go out and meet people in Paris is to look for a group in the website http://www.meetup.com. This site hosts voluntary associative groups that share a common interest like for example language conversation or yoga or dancing. It is a very well known site in the anglophone countries (the site was started in the US and has now more than 15 million members worlwide) and is increasing fast in France as well. In Paris there are already a lot of groups for expats to go out, for language conversation, for country community gathering, to interact with french people, for leisure activities, etc.

I am the organiser of a salsa group called "Paris Salsa Meetup Group" (http://www.meetup.com/The-Paris-Salsa-Meetup-Group/) that aims to organise salsa "meetups" either to take salsa classes or go to salsa clubs in Paris as a group, that is more fun and also interesting to meet people as well. As a matter of fact there are a lot of expatriates in the group.

Hello,

there are a lot of place with "low" prices where you can meet expatriate people in Paris.
Near Saint-michel, at the Pantheon (i think to Bombardier pub) and a lot of pubs around there (also near Rue Mouffetard).
In 18th, between pigalle and lamarck i have found so many bars with lovely people.
Don't hesitate to ask me if you have questions
