Bienvenue en France was created for you.
Bienvenue en France is a non-profit organization, for diplomats and their families based in Paris. It is actively supported by the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs.
More than 80 countries are represented in the 30 activity groups led by a hundred French volunteers.
On Monday 5 October in our offices
Since returning from holidays we have to live with uncertainty but we shall adapt to offer you a social and cultural life with Bienvenue en France. Taking into account all the health measures in force, we have developed until Christmas a programme of exceptional outings.

Easy recipes for difficult times
Several Cooking groups regularly share recipes we like to call “storecupboard recipes”, which use just a few ingredients and are easy to make to sprinkle a little joy into life under lockdown.

Singing together... apart!
In addition to the short message and clips of music or photos of our choir I sent to you all every week, our choir leader Onnick recorded four videos so we were able to continue to practise our singing.
