Stranger In A Strange Land

Finding your feet after a move to a new country, or even a new town, can be exciting. It's also often stressful with many emotional ups and downs as adjusting to a different language or culture can take time. But if you look around, you'll find local social and support groups are just a phone call away.

Finding a foothold

Use AngloINFO to help you to find the contacts you may need. Browse through the category in The AngloFILE covering Community Life: Midi-Pyrénées, where you'll find the contact information for social and interest groups listed under Clubs & Associations. Or see the Support Groups category to find a helping hand for tougher times. 

One particular social/support group that may be of use to you is the AVF (Accueil des Villes Française), a French organisation established to help newcomers to an area find the information and social integration they may need. There are branches throughout France in most of the larger towns, and you'll almost always find English-speakers in these groups.

The AngloINFO Forum provides a very effective way to ask advice, share experiences, and find new friends in the region, in English. See the sections under Midi-Pyrénées Living, where you can start or participate in discussions on local life.
