Hello, I'm Amelie

A project manager. A parent. An expatriate residing in Paris, France.

Several years back I moved here with my family. What began as a short-term assignment gradually opened a new chapter overseas.

Origins

Moving to France hadn't been part of our long-range plan. Like many expat relocations, it began as a job opportunity and quickly grew into something far more significant.

The initial months were demanding — unfamiliar systems, new routines, and rising expectations. Everyday tasks felt more complicated than necessary.

The Adaptation Phase

There was cultural adjustment, some uncertainty, and plenty of hands-on learning. Gradually, routines took shape. We found places that suited us, connected with other families, and started building something that felt steady.

Why I Built HarmonyFieldCo

Most information online fell into either corporate relocation guidance or shallow tourism material. What was missing was an honest, day-to-day family perspective.

This site aims to fill that gap — practical guidance based on real life in France.

What This Site Is (And Isn't)

This site is:

  • Hands-on experience from living in France
  • Centered on family life and day-to-day realities
  • Updated whenever a real change occurs

This site isn't:

  • Not a tourism authority resource
  • A sponsored review platform
  • A generic travel blog

Looking Ahead

Our stay in France goes on, and the learning journey continues. As long as the information remains helpful, I will continue recording what we uncover.

If you have questions about family life in Paris or anywhere in France, please feel free to get in touch.

Best regards,

Amelie

Paris, France
