At the source of this project are two women, one
French, one Canadian, who have been living in the US
for some time, both had their first child in 1999, and
wanted to ensure he/she was brought up with an awareness of the
richness of the French language and culture.
|
Why? Because they are part of who we are and they will be an added asset
to our children. Of course our
children will also learn the ways and the language of
their country of residence but that’s easy! It will
happen when we take them to the park, to Mc Donald’s,
to school, or when they watch TV.

For this network of Francophones (native French
speakers) and Francophiles (those with an interest in
the French culture) to be truly efficient, we are
building it on a regional basis, with a Real
World-Virtual world approach. In fact, we do not
believe communities really materialize on the Web. We
believe the web is a great resource, but that people
need to feel proximity to foster truly enriching
communication.
Our goal is to build a network to help identify
those things which are not written anywhere today and
which can make our lives abroad better.
Things that are second nature to Americans but are unknown to us-
like the US health care system.
We also seek to bring together on this site those providing
the specialized products and services you seek as Francophiles: whether travel and housing abroad,
education, leisure activities, or children's
educational products here. There is no easy access to
these products and services today.
Finally, we will also provide a forum for all the
bi-cultural, Francophone-American families, where they
can exchange their points of views, questions, or
suggestions.
And here are the members of our international team
Even someone as discreet as a programmer ...
We welcome all those who believe in such an effort to
join us. Support Frenchparents!
