Go to language exchange events
To meet and speak with French people interested in your culture and language, go to Blabla Language Exchange (several dates, don’t forget to register or KOTOPO (an incredible cross-cultural area) or Lyon’s public librairies (they organise monthly events).
Shop at a local market
Going to the market is very French! Find a local market close to where you live (among this list of local markets) and shop there regularly. It is a great opportunity to speak French as you can discuss with local merchants about their products, get recipies or tips and even get to know your neighbors!
Become an active member of a non profit organisation
Interested in environmental protection, help of the most deprived people or organizing cultural events ? Find an organisation which activity is in line with your interests or values, and participate voluntarily in its activity. Meeting French people is easy when you share the same interests and support the same cause !
