There are 114 private schools in Paris. Many of them are affiliated to a religion, some are semi-supported by the government, some are bi- or tri-lingual and others focus on a particular interest. The ones that are most attractive and most attended by expats have been highlighted in the “International Schools” section. For a complete list of all of the private schools visit http://www.enseignement-prive.fr. The guide is in French, but there are links to the schools’ websites and also a 1-click option for ordering brochure.

Top Tips
01 | Once you have found a good bakery in your neighborhood, visit regularly. They are institutions and offer interesting information about the local area. |
02 | The ‘3 plans par arrondissement’ is by far the best local map, and so compact that it takes up little space in a bag. |
03 | The seemingly constant flood of locksmith service advertisements in your mailbox may seem annoying, but slip one under your doormat, you may need it! |
04 | Learn the language, you will find that there are large swathes of Parisian life that you will miss completely if you don’t speak the language. |
