I am just recently arrived in Compiegne from Ireland. I am interested to know if there are any groups for expats here.

Scots dude

Hi, not sure about groups as I have just arrived here. I see there is an Irish pub in town if you wanted to meet up for a Guinness or two!
Cheers

Hi Steve.
That could be an idea.
Irish Pubs in name only I am afraid..... a few old shillelaghs and stuff but no Irish people or ambience really.
I am away for 2 weeks now but afterwards could meet in one of those depots I suppose.
Where in Compiegne are you?
I live in Royallieu at present near the Jewish War Memorial and also near Intermarche.

Hi John, not exactly sure of the district, but I am about 10 to 15 minute walk from the town centre and main bridge, south of the river. Seems like a nice area, and not nearly expensive as Paris!

Let me know when you are around, I get the feeling the two of us could be "the group"!

Cheers

Steve,

It could welll be the case..... Mind you I was in Guangzhou China and met a lady from my own town on the street.

I am back about 8th August

You could be near me.
Are you near the Jewish Memorial place?
I am near Intermarche and the Blue Church.

Scots dude

Just had a look at google maps, and I am not far from the hospital. So more or less the same neighbourhood by the look of things.

Yes can meet soon when I return.
Are there any bars near you?
John

Scots dude

Just found the ones in town so far, need to do some more investigating! Only arrived last Friday so still checking the place out.

Let me know when you are around, we can grab a beer or two.

Hi Steve,
Have you got your social scene going or still open to new people?  Also, do you ever cross the border and come into Paris - I'm on West side of Paris so central is better for me..
Laura

Scots dude

Hi Laura,
I'm not sure if "going" is the right word, as I have only found one other person who is from Irleand! I am down in Paris now and again and also for work. I will be away until Saturday, so could meet up for a coffee and a chat Saturday afternoon if you are around?
Cheers
Steve

Hi Steve,

Meant to get back to you earlier this week but a bit busy at work to think after hours...
Am busy this weekend but free next weekend.

What a week for Scotland though - still trying to take it all in really.

Laura

Scots dude

Hi Laura,

No problem, things getting busy for me too. I'll email again next week and we can see if maybe the following weekend is better!
Yes, not sure what this means for our country, I guess we shall see over the next weeks and months.

Cheers,

Steve
