Pick up FUSAC in Paris

Today’s post comes from Lynn Rodriguez.  Lynn previously wrote Paris in the Fall so be sure to go back and read it if you missed it the first time around.

Lynn makes me feel like I’m sitting in a little cafe, having espresso, and planning what I’m going to do with the rest of the day. 

Thanks again, Lynn.  I think we’ll be seeing a lot more of your writing!

FUSAC has been around for years. It means France USA Contacts. If you’re thinking of going to Paris or have just arrived, it’s a must have, and best of all, it’s free!

You can find an abundance of information in the magazine: apartments for rent, jobs, au pair positions, meeting places, things to do, places to go, American restaurants and stores, personal ads, classes, exchanges, the list goes on and on and on! You can also buy or sell items: books, household goods, clothing….you name, they’ve got it.

If you’re like me, you may be asking, why would I want to contact other English-speaking people while I’m in Paris?! Okay, this may not be for you, but there are a lot of other Americans, Brits, Canadians, Aussies, etc. who would love to get together with others in the English-speaking community. Not to mention, a lot of French people who read this magazine because they, too, are interested in meeting Anglophones.

FUSAC comes out every two weeks. If you’re new to Paris, or planning on staying for awhile, you’ll find that FUSAC is a gold mine of information. You can find it in every single arrondissement of Paris and in a couple of suburbs as well. If you happen to pass by an English-speaking bookstore, any American style restaurant, the American Express near the Opéra, the English-speaking embassies and consulate offices, go on in and pick up a copy. They all have FUSAC near their entrance and you’ll be happy you did.

You can tell them I sent you!
