A few months ago, I launched French Footsteps — a new series for those dreaming, planning, or already taking their first steps toward a new life in France.
Since then, many of you have written to say how much you’ve enjoyed the stories and insights — especially the real-life accounts of what it’s truly like to move to France.
Today, I’m excited to share that French Footsteps is taking its next step — growing into a community of stories, videos, and online conversations to explore what life in France could look like from lots of angles.
From Stories to Conversations
The vision of a supportive, connected community is beginning to take shape. In the coming weeks, French Footsteps will introduce:
Video stories featuring individuals and couples who have made the move to France, as well as professionals who provide guidance and information.
Live chats, where you’ll be able to ask questions and hear directly from experts on visas, housing, healthcare, and financial planning.
Ongoing conversations about what life in France feels like — the lifestyle, the reinvention, and the sense of belonging that comes with it.
Created for You
French Footsteps was created to help you learn from others who have successfully moved to France. It’s the resource I wish I’d had when I first arrived — a blend of practical advice and honest storytelling for those considering their own move.
With French Footsteps now expanding into live video and live chats, it’s becoming a true exchange — a place where information meets inspiration.
