Moving to Houston means discovering a dynamic city in the heart of Texas, known for its energy and cosmopolitan vibe. But when coming from France, the need to reconnect with a French-speaking community quickly arises. Here are our best ideas for meeting other French expatriates in Houston.
Francophone Associations and Organizations
The Alliance Française of Houston is a key reference for expatriates: French classes, cultural evenings, film screenings, and lectures regularly bring the community together. The French American Chamber of Commerce – Texas also offers networking events for French-speaking professionals.
Meetup Groups and Social Events
On Meetup, several communities of French people and Francophiles in Houston organize aperitifs, dinners, and cultural outings. A friendly and informal way to make new friends.
French Cafés, Bakeries, and Spots
Places like Mademoiselle Louise or Magnol French Bakery are not just bakeries, but also natural meeting points for French expatriates in search of authenticity and conviviality.
Social Networks and Online Groups
Facebook groups like Français à Houston or Les Frenchy du Texas bring together thousands of members. They are spaces to share practical advice, tips, and outing suggestions to encourage meetups.
