Q & A

Subject: Going to an American in Paris

Question: I am trying to get a short-term paid internship in France though the French Embassy in Washington DC, and am worrying that once I'm there I'll get lonely. Although I lived in Paris for the summer in 1998, I was there studying and had plenty of American friends to keep me company. Do you know of a way to get in touch with Americans already in France?

Answer: I don’t think that you will have a problem finding Americans in Paris. The following link list Americans organizations in Paris, http://perso.club-internet.fr/hwelty/Paris/AmericanCommunity.html. You could probably find more out there on the web. Also you can always try English or Irish pubs, that worked for me when I lived in Bordeaux. Also ask around for the English bookstores, they are always good resource centers. Enjoy you time in Paris.
