Welcome to Paris: Information

France is an important destination for many postdoctoral researchers from  India. However, for many people, relocating to France is fraught with many problems, much of which arises from the language problem.

In this blog, I have randomly and sometimes systematically amalgamated the useful links I have discovered in the past months.

Coming to France? Need Info?

Check out the side bars to the end of the page!
You will find almost all you need there!
You can find here relevant links to :

• Information related to life in France
• Information relevant to travelling to and in France
• Links to sites with comprehensive information for travelers, tourists and expatriates
• Newbie FAQ’s for Indians (working on it)

I see no point in copying things from other sites and pasting them here, so where I found a good site, I have provided a link to it. Visit the site and explore!

The aim of this blog is to consolidate my bookmarks in one place so that another bewildered traveler may benefit from it.  More importantly, I want to emphasize that with proper research, you can be very well prepared for your stay in Paris and make comfortable even your early days in France.

I have provided shortcuts to many sites and tools to facilitate their use by people who are not familiar with them.

The specific text materials are my opinions and what I have discovered, experienced or perceived.

Thank you for visiting! All the best!
