"The ESFG is a truly fantastic community! At a difficult time, the members organized a food train for me and my family. If you're facing challenges, it's wonderful to know that you have other families you can count on."

Katy Giroud
"Thanks to the events organized by the group, I got out and about with my baby several times a week, met many wonderful families, and have watched their children grow up over the years."

Fortuna Blondeau
"We tried out different expat groups, and the ESFG is the one we've stuck with. I think it’s partly the large variety of families that makes it so welcoming. I’m so grateful for the friendships, the support, and the advice I’ve had from people in the group."

Brittany Neynaud
"I have two children, 9 and 4. Both are fully bilingual, and for a big part, that is thanks to ESFG being such a supportive community."

Louise MacDonald
"Our family is so grateful for the opportunities for the friendship, fun, support, and information this group continues to provide. Our children get to meet and socialise with other bilingual / bicultural kids just like them and the grown-ups get an ever-helpful, non-judgemental support network."

Emma Jones
"I have met some of my dearest friends through this group."

Mary King
"We joined the ESFG just before we arrived in France and found it an invaluable source of information before and after our daughter was born."

Kathryn Barlett
"I’m so grateful to have the support of this community. It truly keeps me sane!"

Allison LaMotte
"I have made many Anglophone friends through ESFG which would not have been possible otherwise."
