🌍 Coming soon

Expat life with kids, together.

MumExpat is the first global community for French-speaking expat mums. So you never have to navigate schools, healthcare, paperwork and daily life abroad on your own.

Be the first to know when we launch. No spam, ever.

What we'll be writing about

Three pillars to walk with you.

  • For a calmer expat life with your family

    Schools, paediatric care, admin paperwork, family tax: our journalists and expert mums break down the real questions expat parents are asking.

  • To explore, go out, and grow with your kids

    Family outings, bilingual events, kid-friendly spots: we tell you what's worth doing in your city, sorted by your children's age.

  • So you never feel alone again

    Every week, we share stories of French-speaking mums around the world. So you know you're not alone.

📅 A MumExpat exclusive

Your school's calendar, in your agenda.

The official 2026-2027 dates of the French schools in our cities: first day, holidays, local public holidays. Taken from each school's published calendar, subscribable in one click in Google or Apple Calendar, and updated if they change.

  • Dates verified against each school's official calendar
  • One click and it lives on your phone, all year long
  • Local public holidays and festivals included

And if the dates change, you can get an email heads-up.

💰 An exclusive tool

What will their schooling really cost?

Before choosing a school, compare their fees from one city to the next, in euros, and work out the budget across your whole time abroad.

  • Up to 3 French schools compared side by side, across all of our cities
  • The budget simulated over every school year, not just the first one
  • Official school fee scales, ECB conversion, comparison exportable as PDF
Open the comparator

Free, no sign-up needed. If in doubt, the school's official scale prevails.

Coming to the platform

Living cities, through the eyes of mums.

Each city will have its own page: schools, paediatric care, local French-speaking community and family events.
