Message - By Parents, For Parents

​

Mike & Zheng

BABY MINA'S DAD

​

How to have a baby in France in English?! Yep, I Googled this. We had just moved to Paris & everything was new from finding doctors & childcare to parenting … all in a foreign language! Message helped us make friends & get answers to all the day-to-day questions.

​

Katie & Motty

THEO, ELEANOR & MIA'S PARENTS

The absolute best way for English-speaking families to get integrated, get advice, make friends and generally figure out life as a parent here.  Essential for new and longtime Parisians alike. One of the best things about living in Paris!

​

Robynne

ADRIEN & LÉA'S MOM

​

I was so grateful for the support from my Message peeps when we went through the grueling getting-into-college process.

​

Tara

MONA'S MAMA

​

In a career transition when we moved here, the entrepreneurs group helped me keep momentum on my professional goals, while new friends helped me navigate life in my new city.

See you around the neighborhood!
