Posting guidelines for the British Expat community forum. Please do not post anywhere on this forum unless you have read these guidelines. Fault reports and questions about how to use the forum belong on the Fault Reports and FAQ boards on our main forum - you'll find links to them here.
Please read this, especially if you are new to forums. It gives advice on how to post, acceptable use etc. From time to time we might post special announcements here too, so watch out for the orange flag!
Here's where we post announcements related to France. Please have a look around the boards before asking a question - we may already have answered it. (Only board Moderators and Site Admins can post on the announcements board.)

Planning an event, or want to publicise a regular meeting of expats in your area? Please post the details here! (NB You may post dates and venues and details of the event. However, adverts for other websites will be deleted, whether or not they are commercial ventures. If you want an advert, we have plenty of opportunities for you to buy one. Thanks.)

We get a lot of requests from journos wanting to interview expats so here's the place to do it. Please, everyone, have a look and see if you can help. (This is for France-specific requests only - general requests belong on the main BE Forum. Press releases/adverts will be deleted, so please don't waste our time. Thanks.)
Please post here only if your posting doesn't seem to belong on any of the other France boards - but please don't use it to post loads of questions about buying a house, schools, work etc. Please post separate threads on the appropriate boards. (NB - if you want to post about something not France-specific, please post on the main British Expat Forum.)
This board is for all the jumbled up info about France. We've asked that, on the info boards, you please post on the relevant boards, start new threads for new topics, and please keep on topic. Otherwise the info is too hard to find for those coming after, and people end up having to repeatedly answer the same questions. (If your posting is locked in here, please feel free to post again in the appropriate place.)
