Membership Services

The services we provide for our members are varied. Recognising that we are living in a country which is foreign to us and in which many of the customs are different, we endeavour to include services which encourage the understanding of and integration into French society.

We do this by:

  • Encouraging the speaking of French. At present there are two French classes being held in members homes, one in Fayence and one in Les Issambres. We would like to set up more and, if you would like further information about these or how to set up a class in your own home, please click on the contact link below.

  • Provide as much information as possible about French society/administration/taxation etc. To do this we have compiled Information Sheets  on many topics which are available to members. To read our introductory sheet, please see “Living in the Var” on our publications page.  If there are any other information sheets that you would like us to consider, please click on the contact link below. 

  • Encouraging members to join French clubs/organisations etc.  A list of members who are willing to take other members with them to French speaking clubs or organisations. Details to follow.

  • Arrange seminars which inform members on various aspects of living in France and French life. From time to time you will see these seminars advertised in our newsletter. If there are any aspects of French life that you would like us to consider, please click on the contact link below.
