    Hi Alice,
    don't know if you got my mail, but we can meet up if you want.

    And to everyone else - I'm looking for some people to meet, too. Will be in Paris in the middle of September, gonna move there with my baby. I'm not sure for how long yet, but I'lll have lots of free time to fill.

    Would love to meet other moms around but not necessarily, as I like to talk about non baby stuff from time to time.

    Don't speak a word of french yet, so preferably english or german speaking people.

    See you

    PS I'm 24 by the way

    Hi Alice.

    I'm 21 and have just moved to Maisons Lafitte to be an au pair for 9 months, I would love to meet some other people as I am also missing my girl mates back home!

    Are you working in Paris? I am trying to plan a trip to visit Paris this weekend as I am only 20 mins away but am planning carefully so I don't get lost!

    Hope to hear from you soon,

    Chloe

    Hi Chloe,

    I'm applying to be an au pair at the minute in Paris, I've been talking to one or two families and I'm keen to move over.

    Are you enjoying it? I've never been an au pair in a foreign country before so it would be nice to get your view.

    Thanks

    Lindsay

    Hi everyone,

    Thanks for replying to my post. I will be back in Paris at the end of September as I have had to go home to Ireland for a few weeks. I'm not working at the moment so have plenty of time to meet up when I get back. Would love to meet up for a coffee with whoever is interested and explore the city.

    Alice

    PS Rosalie I'm sorry I didn't get your email but would love to meet up!

    Hi everybody,
    is this topic reserved to women only?

    My name is Colas, I'm a man (sorry ladies)
    I'm 26 years old, I'm a medicine student (2nd year only, I'm not still able to rescue you!)

    I'm looking for foreign friends, especially for English people, to improve my English level, in order to go to GB or USA for medical stages.
    I'm also right here to help you to improve your French of course!
    I have so many hobbies, it's too long to be sum up here!

    My university is near "gare de lyon" and "gare d'austerlitz", but I'm able to go everywhere in Paris.
    I'm here for friendship only, I'm not here to flirt.

    I hope that someone here would help me, and share a coffee with me in a Parisian pub soon.

    BEST REGARDS

    Salut Colas and everyone else,

    I’m 26 female and I just moved to Paris last week with my work. I’m loving every moment of being here but I desperately need to work on my French. It has been years since I needed to speak French. I would love to meet up with one or a few people and help each other master English and French.

    If interested send me a note and hopefully we can grab a glass of wine or beer this week or weekend. I always find that language practice is better over a glass of wine!

    Jennifer

    Hello everyone,

    I am 25 years old and I recently moved to the Paris area. I will be working here for a year and I want to improve my french. I studied french for a few years but it has been a long time. I'd like to meet up for english/french exchange with friendly down to earth people. We can grab some coffee, food or a glass of france's delicious wine.

    Email me if you are interested

    Erin

    I live in St. Nom la Bretche...so close to Saint German en Laye! I'm 24, working in Paris, and have been living here about 6 months with my family. I think it's finally time to look for some friends haha!!! So I'd love to meet up for a coffee or something if you or anyone would be interested. Please let me know and we can figure out details!

    Hi Alice

    I am totally in the same situation, my partner is French, moved here 2 months ago. I am trying to settle down but quite difficult because I don't yet speak any French, just starting to learn. How is it going for you? Would love to hear about your experience.

    I just arrived on Sunday actually & am looking to meet up with any English speakers out there :)

    I'm 18 years old & am au pairing here, so it's been quite overwhelming as I only know basic French. E-mail me if you're interested in meeting up for drinks, jacquelinemathers@hotmail.com

    Salut tout le monde!
    I am in the same sort of situation, I moved to a Parisien suburb in September and haven't had a chance yet to meet people, make friends, and explore. I finished uni this year, and got a job offer and decided to move out here since I want to become fluent in French, and its far easier just living in the country. However, we speak english at work so I don't get that much practise. Therefore anyone who wants to practise for a language exchange or anyone who, like me, is in need of friends to explore, hang out, dine out, have drinks or go out just let me know!
    Just send me a msg and we can go from there. Hope to hear from you all!
