Poll Question:
Will be in Paris for a year with two children, age 6 and 11, for husband's sabbatical.

Would like to hear options and recommendations from other parents who have done enrolled their children in French schools. Need a bilingual school, prefer central Paris.

Also, if you live (or lived) in Paris w/ children, any recommendations for areas suitable/convenient for families.

Many thanks,

Lou

HI Lou,

I am not a parent, but highly recommend getting in contact with the ASsociation of American Wives of Europeans to get a copy of their book, Guide to Education in Paris. You can find them at www.aaweparis.org.

As for areas, most people with children choose to live in Western Paris (16th, 17th, 15th arrondissements) if not in the western suburbs. This is because the majority of the schools are there. However, I would add that these are generally nice areas.
