Welcome to Women's International Club Méditerranée
Moving to another country is an exhilarating but daunting experience. Today, more and more women leave home and country to spend some years in a foreign place, with or without a partner. Most women arriving here do so because they want to live in the Languedoc after many years of hard work elsewhere. Others come with their family to start a new working life. Whether you do it bit by bit, first during holidays, or in one fell swoop, it always brings many pleasant surprises but also difficulties, some of which you never dreamed existed. Many newcomers do not speak the language, or at least not sufficiently to have meaningful contact with local people. Regional accents, customs, rules and regulations often make communication difficult and frustrating.
The opportunity to talk to other women who are in similar circumstances can be fun, helpful and rewarding, especially if they speak your mother tongue. This is where the WICM comes in.
The WICM reaches out to women of all ages to come and join us, to spend some time together enjoying the many benefits of the south, and to help each other deal with the intricacies of living "dans le sud de la France". Our aim is bring together women of all origins with French women in this area, to offer cultural exchange, friendship and support. Hence our motto:
Building Bridges - Jeter des ponts
Our organisation is non-political, non-religious, and non-commercial. We welcome women of all nationalities, race and religions. Most of our members understand and speak English but we try to conduct meetings in English and French as much as is possible.
