🧭 Our three-pillar programme

We design a true welcome and settling-in programme, blending language sessions, hands-on workshops, visits and lived experiences, carried on through an intercultural club. Three complementary pillars to help relocating families find their bearings and put down lasting roots.

Language & cultural codes

Language workshops set in real-life contexts, to understand the language, the cultural codes and everyday customs — and gain independence.

Giving newly arrived loved ones the linguistic and cultural grounding they need to feel at ease in their day-to-day interactions.

  • French sessions rooted in real life (everyday practicalities, admin, local interactions).
  • Decoding French customs: the unspoken, communication, etiquette, social rhythm.
  • Role-play: real conversations, everyday scenarios.

Regions & savoir-faire

Discovering France through its places, its crafts, its ways of doing and its savoir-faire.

Creating genuine experiences that help people put down local roots and experience France beyond the paperwork.

  • Hands-on workshops: cooking, pâtisserie, perfumery, craftsmanship, traditional skills.
  • Meetings with local artisans and producers.
  • Exclusive visits: behind the scenes of French savoir-faire.
  • Local immersions: walks, markets, places steeped in tradition.

Intercultural club

A space to share your culture and build enriching bonds between accompanying partners newly arrived in the region, returning expatriates, and anyone seeking intercultural enrichment.

Offering a warm, well-structured space to meet, support one another, share cultures and build solid social roots.

  • Welcoming newcomers: getting their bearings, guidance, building confidence.
  • France–World pairs: a French person + a newcomer to smooth the way in.
  • Monthly meet-ups: workshops, walks, coffee mornings, themed conversations.
  • Themed evenings: cooking, traditions, storytelling, languages, cultural heritage.

Preparation is now increasingly a form of prevention: prevention of isolation, cultural disconnection, and family separation. Yet only 19% of families receive language preparation and 17% cultural preparation.
