Episode Belonging Abroad: Faith, Migration, and Building Community in Paris Cover

Belonging Abroad: Faith, Migration, and Building Community in Paris

What does it mean to belong when you’re living abroad? In this episode, we sit down at the American Church in Paris with Pastor Elizabeth to talk about faith, migration, and the human need for community. What began as a conversation about the role of one historic church quickly expands into a broader discussion about immigrant life in France, cultural adjustment, identity, and the quiet challenges of building connection in a new country. We explore the history of the American Church in Paris, from hosting figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and James Baldwin to running refugee shelters during the coldest months of the year. We also discuss the realities of living between cultures, navigating French secularism, and why community becomes essential when you are far from home. Whether you are religious or not, this conversation speaks to something universal: the need to feel grounded, seen, and supported when starting over in a new country. As a French immigration law firm, we often speak about visas and legal processes, but we know relocation is not only administrative. It is emotional, cultural, and ultimately, it is about belonging.

Episode We Took the New French Civics Exam... Here’s What Happened Cover

We Took the New French Civics Exam... Here’s What Happened

There’s a brand new civics exam in France, and if you’re applying for naturalization, a multi-year renewal, or a 10-year card, it now applies to you. It just rolled out. It’s 40 questions. You need 80% to pass. And no one really knew what to expect. So we decided to take it ourselves. In this episode, we walk through our experience sitting the highest-level version of the exam for naturalization. We talk about what surprised us, what felt straightforward, what was unexpectedly tricky, and how sophisticated the French language level actually is. We also put Daniel in the hot seat to see whether he would pass on the spot. The exam isn’t impossible, but it’s not something to treat casually either. Some questions test core republican principles. Others test history, institutions, and rights in ways that require real comprehension, not just memorization. If you’re preparing for naturalization or wondering how serious this new requirement is, this episode will give you clarity and perspective from the inside. As always, our team is here to help you prepare, not just legally, but practically.

Episode French Stereotypes, Accents, and the Citizenship Test: AT Frechies Cover

French Stereotypes, Accents, and the Citizenship Test: AT Frechies

What happens when French creators build their lives in the United States while an American immigration lawyer builds his in France? In the first episode of Your Best French Life, French immigration attorney Daniel Tostado sits down with the founders of AT Frenchies to unpack what it really means to move abroad, build a career across borders, and navigate identity, culture, and visas on both sides of the Atlantic. From college life in the U.S. and the pandemic turning point that launched their content careers, to O-1 visas, language stereotypes, and whether Americans really need to hide their accents in France, this conversation blends lived experience with legal insight. Along the way, they compare French and American approaches to work, community, immigration, and what “making it” actually looks like. This episode is for anyone curious about life between France and the U.S., moving abroad long-term, or understanding immigration beyond paperwork.
