Welcome to Ugandan Community in France

There are three types of climate in France:

1. Oceanic (western France): Large rainfall, cool summers, and cool winters.
2. Continental (eastern and central France): Warm summers, cold, snowy winters.
3. Mediterranean (southern France): Cool winters, hot summers, limited rainfall.

France can be an extremely challenging place within which to find work. Many hires are made through personal networks, making the job search very difficult for a foreigner. The ability to speak French without a heavy foreign accent can greatly improve your networking ability and your chances of securing a suitable role when living in France. Basic French, at a minimum, is almost always compulsory to securing any work.

The French administration has a large network of agencies for employment. The most important are:

• ANPE, this is the French national agency for employment, and you can view their job advertisements online at http://anpe.fr. Unfortunately, the website is only available in French.
• APEC, the French national agency for the employment of professionals and executives, http://www.apec.fr.

If you do not have a French-speaking ability, all is not lost. Many expats in France make ends meet by establishing their own small businesses such as bars, hotels, plumbing, etc. Others set up as freelance providers in writing and editing, graphic, and website design.

1. Even if you plan to relocate from another European Union country, you will be required to apply for permanent residence status and the Sécurité Sociale.
2. Real estate negotiations in France are quite often conducted through the local Mayor.
3. If you were to die suddenly in France without leaving a will, any French property and assets you own would pass directly to your children, bypassing your spouse.
4. In France, it is a criminal offense not to help someone who is in distress.
5. There are over 75 regional variations of the French language.
