Helping English-Speaking Parents Thrive in France

Message is a diverse, supportive community of English-speaking families living in and around Paris with one key goal:

to help each other feel at home.

​

We come from more than 60 countries and speak over 20 other languages. We share tips about parenting and life at all ages and stages in France, get together

for different events (virtual for now), and truly support one another.

Open to the Public Events

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.

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.
