  
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 in Paris has no less lofty an aim than connecting France's burgeoning community of Australian professionals. In 2010 we plan to include two representatives to our Country Board to cover the South West and the South East areas of France.
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 in France are more than just "kangaroos" whether in the City of Light or in other cities or remote areas of France. 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.
Join Advance France

Kangaroos in Paris?
'Eighty-five percent of people come for the kangaroo,' says Jean-Paul Bruneteau.
They don't mind the smoked emu either, particularly the way he serves it - thinly sliced, with his version of the classic Caesar Salad. Our conversation wouldn't sound incongruous in Balmain or Toorak, but we're discussing Aussie bush tucker in Paris, in Bruneteau's restaurant, the Bennelong. Outside, on Boulevard Henry IV, Citroens and Peugeots race by, plunging towards the whirlpool of the Place de la Bastille, just fifty metres up the road. [More...]
