Approaching a french community
Would you like to have dinner regularly in a home, spend a weekend there from time to time, participate in excursions, forge informal friendships for their own sake or commit to volunteering at an activity centre or an ESAT?
We invite you to approach the community nearest to where you live. You can establish an initial contact and discuss the most suitable connection, taking account of your expectations and what the community can accommodate. The communities' contact details can be found on the map below

An internship in L'Arche in France
In L'Arche, we learn things we don't learn at school; we escape our social, cultural and intellectual backgrounds... Some discover this through an out-of-the-ordinary internship.
