The AVF - Accueil des Villes Françaises

The AVF (Accueil des Villes Française) is a French, national organisation established to help newcomers to an area (French and foreign) find the information and social integration they may need. There are branches throughout France in most of the larger towns. Many arrange activities including conversation classes, arts and crafts and children's holiday activities. The AVF can provide practical help and information on the area, in French, and occasionally in English too.
