Paris Chat Room
Free Paris chat room in English with no sign-up: expats, students and visitors talk about the city, French life, paperwork and things to do.
#paris-en is the English-speaking room for Paris and its suburbs. Expats working in La Défense, students on exchange, au pairs, visitors spending a week in the city and Parisians who want to practise their English all meet here. Pick a nickname and chat, free and without registration, from your phone or your computer.
Ask which arrondissement suits your budget, how to put together the famous rental dossier for a French landlord, where to find a good bakery or a quiet terrace, or which museums have free entry days. Share tips about the metro, strikes, the Navigo pass and the slow art of French administration. Many of these questions have been answered a hundred times, but it is nicer to ask a person.
Andromede has been a French chat since 2004, so you are in the right place to try a few sentences in French in the French rooms when you feel ready. The English room is new, so it may be quiet at times. Be kind, keep personal details private, and meet people from the chat in public places.
Conversation starters
- Which arrondissement do you live in or like best?
- What surprised you most when you arrived in Paris?
- What is your favourite free thing to do in the city?
