  
Welcome to Advance Paris - the French connection of the world's fastest-growing Australian ex-pat network.
Like its sister chapters in other major capitals around the globe, Advance Paris has no less lofty an aim than connecting France's burgeoning community of Australian professionals.
Australians sit in French board rooms, toil in French science labs, manage French arts companies, run French vineyards and work in French companies across the spectrum of industry sectors.
Through a series of regular events and meetings - both for business and pleasure - Advance Paris aims to bring together this varied array of Aussie professionals.
Members of Advance Paris are more than just "kangourous" in the City of Light - they are ambassadors-at-large for Australia - dynamic professionals with a commitment to not only making a contribution to their adopted country but also staying connected to their homeland.
