Expat in France bi-monthly linky round-up

Dear expat blogger & vlogger!

Welcome to Expat in France blog!

My name is Guillemette, alias Mademoiselle Guiga. I’m French from Lyon and I help expats living in France. If you want to know more about me, I invite you to check out this page.

I would like to gather expat living in France views and experiences on topics that will appeal to newcomers and fellow expats.

So I’m organising an Expat in France linky, where expat bloggers and vloggers living in France can link their post or video. This linky round-up is for expats from everywhere, living in France or DOM-TOM.

There will be a different topic every two months. The post or video should be published on your blog/channel the last week of the month in line with the monthly linky topic you want to take part.

You’ll discover some great content and maybe some new-to-you blogs/vlogs too! So do pop over afterwards and visit some of the posts or videos linked and share some of that love.

I will publish the first week of the following month the round-up post including all the post or embed the videos following the guidelines below. The order will be based on the date I receive the post/video links.
