For those coming from abroad, mastery of the French language is essential for successful integration, especially if you plan to work in Alsace.

In fact, it’s through French courses, sports and cultural activities, whether for adults and/or children, that you’ll be able to integrate, through exchange and discovery.

Adapting to Climate and Location

Alsace has very distinct seasons, with cold winters and hot summers. Prepare yourself accordingly by investing in suitable clothing. You can also take advantage of seasonal activities, such as skiing in winter and festivals in summer.
