A proven expat integration program built in Paris

A proven expat integration program built in Paris

Absolutely French was created in Paris to support expatriates and their partners when they arrive in a new country.

Over the past decade, we have welcomed participants from more than 70 nationalities and supported over 1,200 international professionals and their families.

Our programs are trusted by global companies including L’Oréal, Air Liquide, Saint-Gobain, Carrefour and SLB.

These companies understand a simple reality: international assignments succeed when families integrate successfully.

Our expat integration program focuses on what matters most during the first months of an international move:

• learning the local language through real-life situations
• understanding cultural and social codes
• building a strong local network
• developing autonomy in everyday life
• reconnecting with professional ambitions

In Paris, this approach has created a vibrant international community where expatriate partners gain confidence, build friendships and explore new professional opportunities.

This method is now ready to expand internationally.

Why expat integration matters more than ever

When companies relocate talent, they often focus on logistics: visas, housing, schools and relocation services.

Yet the long-term success of an assignment depends on something deeper: what happens after arrival.

Without a strong integration ecosystem, expatriate partners frequently experience isolation, loss of professional identity and difficulty building a local network.

This is where an expat integration business creates real value.

By combining language, culture, community and professional exploration, it creates a sense of belonging.

And when families feel at home, international assignments become far more successful.

The Absolutely Method

The Absolutely Method

What makes our expat integration program different is the way everything works together.

Language learning is connected to real life.
Participants practice through everyday situations, cultural activities and real conversations.

Community is central.
Small groups create strong connections between people who share the same international journey.

Local partnerships bring the city to life.
Participants meet entrepreneurs, professionals and associations.

Professional reflection is part of the process.
Many expatriate partners rediscover their ambitions and launch new projects.

Participants do not simply learn a language.
They learn how to live, connect and grow in a new country.

Absolutely Ahead: bringing the method to new cities

An opportunity to build your own expat integration business

We are now opening this model to a limited number of cities.

Each city is developed by a local partner.

This is not a job.
This is not a franchise in the traditional sense.

This is a partnership.

You build and lead your own expat integration business in your city.
We build it with you.

You develop the local network, recruit trainers, create partnerships and grow the community.

We bring the method, the brand, the experience and access to international companies.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for entrepreneurs who want to build something meaningful.

You might be:
• an entrepreneur looking for a structured business
• an expatriate partner who wants to create a new career
• a professional in education, mobility or coaching

What matters most:

• you know your city
• you care about people
• you enjoy building communities
• you are ready to commit full-time
• you want to create impact, not just a business

Why Now?

We are opening in New York in September 2026, following a direct request from one of our long-standing clients.

This confirms what we have seen for years:

integration on the ground is the missing piece of international mobility.

More companies are looking for solutions.
Very few exist.

This creates a unique window of opportunity.

Let’s build it together

We are not opening everywhere.
We are selecting a limited number of partners and cities.

So here is the question:

What if your city was next?

If this resonates with you, send me a message on LinkedIn
