Kathryn Dobson Hi L-i-F & friends - theFrenchPaper's December issue is now in store. Great editorial, our Big Quiz and of course lots of goodies to be won!
Our goal is simple – to be France’s quality national newspaper in English. To achieve our aim the paper contains three main elements. The first is practical advice about living in France. We know from experience that, wherever you’re from, life here can sometimes be baffling. Each month we will answer your questions o...n tax, personal finance, law, running a business, making relationships work and many other subjects to try to make daily life that bit simpler. Next we’ll explain the background to events in France. TheFrenchPaper’s team of French and non-French writers will bring you news, expert comment and independent analysis to help you really understand what’s going on in this country – and why. Last, but certainly not least, we want to inspire and raise a smile. Sometimes, amid all the red tape and daily challenges, we forget what brought us to France in the first place. So we want to celebrate life here, from the stunning countryside and beautiful towns and cities, to the food, wine and culture.
