Expat Spot in Paris – International Living
Planning an extended stay in Paris and worried about meeting other Anglophones? I have one word for you... Don't. In Paris, we expats are practically tripping over each other; there are so many of us. By estimates, there are more than 200,000 American expats in Paris. Not to mention there are tens of thousands of English, Irish, and Australian expats, as well as countless others who also speak English, and you've got yourself a very robust Anglophone community.
Free Persephone
A newcomer on the scene in Paris, Free Persephone is a fragrance day spa/tea salon beautifully designed to create the feeling of spring year-round. But the spa's founder, Lauren Creecy, a proud "Connecticut Yankee", also purposefully styled the spa as a warm and welcoming multicultural gathering place for women who need respite from Paris's big-city energy. You can go for a manicure, pedicure, facial, or massage, but you can also pop in just to meet and chat with other expats and visitors over tea, cakes, and cookies at the spa's communal table. English is not only spoken, it's encouraged!
