Hi people,
We have just moved to Thonon-les-Bains. It is a permanent move for me, although my wife is French and her parents live in Thonon. We lived together in London for a couple of years but she convinced me to expatriate... that was'nt difficult mind, seeing that we married in Thonon town hall (Mairie) and we were getting fed up with the weather! Anyway, I just wanted to let anyone English out here know that I'm here and feeling a little alienated! My french is OK but still basic... lucky my wife speake excellent English I suppose (although that does make me lazy)
Bon courage mes amis!
Just moved to Haute-Savoie with wife!

Hi Tina,
How old are your kids? My daughters are 3 & 1. I'm looking for activities for them in the Thonon area so we can get to know our new home and hopefully meet some other families. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks Helen
