WhY we say Community is our Secret weapon

Hard Truths

Hard Truth #1: Let’s face it.  Most people you know are not considering moving to France.  (Some people think you might even be crazy to consider it.)

Hard Truth #2:  Moving to France is not easy. Not everyone thrives outside their country of birth.  There are a LOT of substantial tasks to get done.

Hard Truth #3:  Then there’s the whole OTHER LANGUAGE thing!

Hard Truth #4: Nothing, most especially the issue of housing in France, is like what you may be used to.

Hard Truth# 5:  Sometimes a full year-round move isn’t in the cards (family, finances, etc)

Hard Truth #6:  Cultural adjustment is gonna feel like this some days (one day up, the next day completely overwhelmed)  

It takes a cheering squad. 

What Community Offers:

  • Every single one of the hard truths to your left are easier to handle, if you’re not alone.
  • Nobody thinks you’re crazy in our communities.  On the other hand, they don’t sugarcoat it.  Our experienced guests tell you practical truths.  France is not all dreamy all the time.
  • Our communities will meet on FB, in  text groups, one-on-ones (with the coach), Zoom and in person.  They are always facilitated and always have a core value of kindness.
