Hello,
We are from the US, but have lived in the UK for 6 years and have UK passports (well, my husband doesn't!) as well as a brief stint working in Paris years ago.
Now we are moving to Pau for at least 6 months starting Jan 1, 2010 and I wanted to see what is available for mothers/kids.
My eldest daughter will be going to school, but my 5 year old daughter will be at home with me "home schooling". If we stay on in France then I will enroll her for the 2010-2011 year.
I know in France it can be considered a bit odd to have a 5 year old out of school, but with her personality I am better off waiting a bit. So, she and I will be looking for activities and classes and groups to sign up for/get involved in and I was hoping to get some help in locating events/people.
Anyone have any tips for me?
They don't have to be just for 'expats'--just things to do. Gymnastics, dance, cool playgrounds indoor and outdoor, playgroups...that sort of thing.
Thanks,
Beth
