Welcome to Everyday France!
January 28th 2007
After months of debating and hours of thinking, I decided to carry on with my idea for a website about living in France. And usually, more specifically, living in Paris. “Paris n’est pas la France” (”Paris isn’t France”) as my non-native Parisians like to remind me.
So why did I hesitate? Well first off, there are already a ton of blogs written by Americans and English about France. And I hate to do something that is “so done”. However, as I started reading them, I realized that they were quite different from the subjects I’ve got bouncing around in my head trying to get out. I’m not quite sure how to explain it, but I just felt I had something more to contribute.
One of the first web pages I wrote on the subject, back in 2000, was how to get a job in France. Or more specifically, how I got a job in France. That page became popular and soon I was answering people’s questions about moving here. I’ve already met one such person for lunch, he succeeded in coming to France.
To see what this site is all about, see the About page. And if you have any comments, suggestions, or ideas for future topics, please let me know.
