Expats in Pau?

@bethasmith66 Hello Beth, I randomly stubbled upon your query and would like to connect. We also have just moved to Pau and would like to expand our social opportunities.  I'm originally from Dallas, Texas but married a French transplant and we are now raising our 2 year old son in Pau.  We love food and wine and share the sentiment that nobody should eat or drink alone I can be reached at *** if you would like to share my contact details with your brother.  We are a young family and would love the opportunity to meet new people in Pau. 

@bethasmith66

There is an english speaking group in Pau which organizes many activities (walks, lunch, board games, etc)

Many anglopaupyr group members are active retirees.

Pau is very nice, the weather is usually good (not as good as SF - how could it) and and there are opportunities for a range of outdoor activities.

For retirees speaking french there are activities organized by the city (e.g. art and language classes) as well as "clubs" (such as sky clubs which organize day-long sky thrips to nearby winter resorts - not much french is needed for that)

There is also a group/club for welcoming people who move to the area - mostly retired people who don't have local connections through work for example (in french but there are foreigners there as well).

They organize seminars, day trips to Spain, etc.

And there are also Americans around, even Californians I lived in the bay area many years and I know someone else who lived in N Cal for some time.

Thank you for your reply.

Can you please tell me where to find information on these groups you are referring to?  Thank you you for the information.

@Bonnie & Cylde

Thank you for your reply I just figured out how to see it!

Not sure how to connect.  Looks like the moderators stop any numbers??

Hi!  Not sure how to share contact info either.

E-mails?  So scared to put anything out there anymore.
