Can anyone help with time frame for getting my Carte.  Sent all the necessary documents incl photo to CPAM in March.  No carte as of 1st Sept. Added my husband to my mutuelle and CPAM in July and he received his card yesterday - frustration doesnt quite describe the way I am feeling. HR dept at my company is hopeless, you would think they have never had a non-French person working for them! Any suggustions greatly appreciated

Bonjour! My partner and I are moving to Paris from the UK this Friday (ahhhhhhh!!) and I am looking for an English-speaking beginners yoga class. We are going to be living in the 16th, bordering the 8th so around that area would be ideal but I'll happily hop on the metro too! Does anybody know of any English-speaking yoga centres until I get my french up to scratch?!  Thank you in advance!

Hello, I'm a German citizen living and working in Paris and am looking for health insurance coverage until I get my sécurité sociale and carte vitale sorted out. All the medical aid options for foreigners I've seen so far are travel insurance and require you to have a primary address outside France. When I moved here permanently I had to deregister mine with the German authorities. Does anyone know of a good plan that would cover me for the next 3 to 6 months? I'm currently paying my medical costs myself and I get reimbursed by my German insurer, but only for a fraction of the costs and they're unable to give me an answer about how much longer I'll have coverage now that I've started working here. Thanks in advance for your help. AK
