Paris is the city of lihgt or the city of love?⁠ .⁠ Well, I guess it depends on who is answering the question.⁠ .⁠ 💕 I doubt many French people consider Paris as the city of love. French people would consider Venise in Italy much more romantic than Paris. ⁠ .⁠ First, because it's home to the Parisians, and it is very unlikely to see the place where you've been living for ever as romantic. .⁠ Then, for the rest of France, well it is the capital and we have this love-hate relationship with Paris.⁠ .⁠ ⚡ Yes, to me, a French woman from Lyon, Paris is the city of light (la Ville-Lumière). Mainly for historical reasons.⁠ .⁠ Both because of its leading role during the Age of Enlightenment and more literally because Paris was one of the first large European cities to use gas street lighting on a grand scale on its boulevards and monuments.⁠ .⁠ ❓Do you see Paris as the city of light or the city of love?⁠ .⁠ If love made you move to France, you may be interested in my post about the French spouse visa, who knows, you may need it one day ;)⁠ .⁠ Link in BIO⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #cityoflight #cityoflights #cityoflove❤️ #cityofloveparis #cityoflove❤️🇫🇷 #expatinfrance #lovefrance #expatlifeinfrance #Parisexpat #expatsinparis #expatinlyon #expatsinlyon #lifeinfrance #expatsinfrance #livingabroad #theabroadlife #theabroadlifestyle #expatwoman #expatliving #france #francophile #hellofrance #instagram #Frenchlove #frenchlover #marryinfrance #marryforpapers #marrythefrench #frenchmarriage #lovehasnoborder⁠ ⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CGZ8QG4M0Vk/?igshid=llc9u7e9g2ml

A way of life!⁠ .⁠ For others, it first starts as an opportunity and then they start to like it, and it becomes their life and who they are!⁠ .⁠ ❓Have you dreamt of living abroad and made it come true?❓⁠ .⁠ You may have been dreaming to come to France for a while and managed to come! Well done! It is not always an easy task, depending on where you are from and your personal situation!⁠ .⁠ 🇧🇷 I have dreamt of living in Brazil for many years now, I have even had job interviews a few years ago but the work permit was an issue, so I ended up moving to Barcelona 🇪🇦 for about 18 months! Not bad either you would think!⁠ .⁠ Despite everything that's happening in the world today, my dream to expatriate to Brazil is kicking back in after the holidays I spent there last year! Let's see if I manage to make it happen...⁠ .⁠ I have changed my life many times, read the post via the link in bio to know how.⁠ .⁠ Link in BIO.⁠ .⁠ ❓Have you been planning or wishing your move to France for a while before moving?

🔗 Connecting! This is what we miss the most when we lose it. Human connection, creating a link, gathering, sharing views...⁠ .⁠ As expats we became expert with remote connection tools to keep in touch with our loved ones, maybe to work remotely.⁠ .⁠ The repeated lockdowns and the pandemic we are going through are making us question our life decisions. ⁠ .⁠ 💟 Some will take the plunge to make their dreams to live abroad come true (if not already done), others may move city or go to the countryside to have a better quality of life.⁠ .⁠ ❓A question I receive a lot when it comes to moving abroad: How to find a job abroad before moving?⁠ .⁠ ✈️I have done it several times. I share with you my experience & tips to find a job remotely before relocating.⁠ .⁠ I used these techniques twice to find a job in the UK, also in Brazil (worked until the visa issue.. you'll know more in the BLOG post). ⁠ .⁠ If I could do it, you can do it too!⁠ .⁠ 👉 Link in BIO⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #expatinfrance #lovefrance #expatlifeinfrance #expatliving #Parisexpat #expatsinparis #expatinlyon #expatsinlyon #lifeinfrance #livinginfrance #expatsinfrance #livingabroad #theabroadlife #expatlifestyle #theabroadlifestyle #abroadadventures #expatwoman #expatliving #france #francophile #hellofrance #lostinfrance #instagram #cultureshockinfrance #movetofrance #movingtofrance #showmefrance #hashtag #onlylyon #lovelyon⁠ ⁠ ⁠ https://instagr.am/p/CIBDH1orr7K/

📚 Did you know you could buy books from an online bookstore in France and support your local shops? ⁠ .⁠ Immersing oneself in a book is a great way to pass the time, escape the reality of a lockdown and travel away. Book sales went up by 22% during the first lockdown!!!⁠ .⁠ And the main winner was Amazon whereas the small local bookshops suffered a great deal! ⁠ .⁠ 📖 Buying online has become a habit for many of us, and even more when we are forced to stay at home. Finding convenient ways to consume is useful but finding ethical and convenient ways to consume is even better! ⁠ .⁠ Let’s find out how we can keep buying our books online and still support our local bookstore. ↩️⁠ .⁠ Link in BIO⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #frenchbookshops #frenchbookshop #frenchbookstagram #frenchbookstore #frenchbooksonline #supportlocalbusiness #supportlocalbusinesses♥️ #supportfrenchbusiness #expatinfrance #lovefrance #expatlifeinfrance #expatliving #Parisexpat #expatsinparis #expatinlyon #expatsinlyon #lifeinfrance #livinginfrance #expatsinfrance #livingabroad #theabroadlife #expatwoman #expatliving #france #francophile #hellofrance #lostinfrance #instagram #movetofrance #movingtofrance https://instagr.am/p/CHaoyF3rlkf/
