Welcome to ChantillyExpat.com!
Welcome to ChantillyExpat, the site designed for all expats living in or around the Chantilly and Senlis area and for those considering a move here. Its aim is to provide a one stop site for all the information you could need to make the most of living in one of the most beautiful, vibrant areas of France.

By registering on the site you will be able to share your experiences of the area, see reviews of local attractions, restaurants, even books and films. The forums will provide a perfect area to discuss anything you can think of about life in the area - and much more. Please use the register button above this message, or the register link in the account block to the right.
 The APARC website is now live on this site, as is the website for the English Language Montessori school and the Chantilly Cricket Club. We will soon be launching pages for the Chantilly Scouts. If you have children at APARC or ELMS please apply to join their group as this will allow you to see restricted parts of the site.
We are trying to fill other sections of the site as we go along - this will mean, of course, that to start with content will be a bit 'light'! You can change that! Sites such as this can only grow with the help of the people reading it. By contributing you will help provide a valuable resource for everyone. Please visit us often! If you have an event to publicise please use the calendar section - simply navigate to the date of your event then click the 'add event' button...
The site is as bi-lingual as I am able to make it - you can submit most items in either English or French. Please note, if you are only submitting in one language please select 'All' in the language box to ensure that your item is visible to all.

| Kids bored yet? |
So are your kids getting bored yet? Just thought I'd point out a couple of things you could do if you've kids rattling around the house with nothing else to do...
- Sherwood Parc - just outside of Luzarches, south of Lamorlaye is Sherwood Parc, 'tree climbing adventure park'. It's suitable for kids from the age of about 5 as much as for adults! It can get very busy so best to turn up at lunchtime or earlier. Not cheap at around €22 for entry you do get bouncy castles to play on until it's time to go into the trees, then about 3 hours climbing time! There are plenty of 'courses' to follow in the trees so you're not normally too bunched up. It is really good fun for kids and adults alike.
- Cinema - there are a load of cinemas in Paris that have films in VO (version originale). These are shown in their original language, normally with French subtitles. It costs around €10 per ticket for adults, €6 for kids, although this weekend, the 17th, 18th and 19th August all tickets in Paris Cinemas are only €3! We tend to use either UGC Bercy or UGC Chatelet. Bercy is easy to reach by car, being just along the river from the Porte de Bercy on the peripherique whilst Chatelet can be reached on the RER D from Orry or Chantilly. Bercy has some nice restaurants in the 'village' next door - a bit like a small Convent Garden in London.
- Bowling - the closest bowling alley is at St.Maximin, near to Cora on the N16. It opens at 2pm every day but gets busy the later you leave it - although there are 26 lanes. Rates are pretty reasonable - €3 per 'partie' plus €1.60 to hire the shoes before 7pm. They have a special offer for the holidays where your third round is only €1, so €7 gets you three rounds! There is also a bar for snacks and drinks, although the restaurant is closed in summer. Scoring is all electronic you'll be pleased to know, and there are guide rails for the really young.
- Swimming - the swimming pool in Gouvieux is only a couple of years old and very well specified. They have two indoor pools with jacuzzi, current, lanes and a slide. Outdoors is another pool along with picnic areas and volleyball court. It's only around €5-6 to get in, cheaper with proof that you live in the area. Be aware it does get really busy on hot days! For those interested they also have a gym and sauna/hammam.
There are obviously many others but I hope that helps! Only three weeks until they go back to school!

| Confidence trickster warning |
This warning has been sent from the Scots Kirk via the Consulate:
"Recently the Kirk has been the focus of activity for a confidence trickster, who borrowed money from several members of the congregation, individually, on false pretences and has now vanished into the woodwork. In certain cases the sums involved were considerable, amounting to several thousand Euros.
The person claimed to be gravely ill (cancer) and to have only a short time to live. He promised imminent repayment (which got delayed and delayed, of course). He finally did a runner when challenged to deliver proof of his identity and of the stories he was telling about expecting large cheques any day. Most of what he had said was a brilliant weave of truth and lies, designed to make people trust him.
After discovering the reality of the situation, our efforts to track him down revealed that he'd been doing the rounds of other Anglophone churches in the Paris area and had tapped people there for money too, with the same audacity. He certainly had all of us praying for his health! In terms of amounts of money, also, the Scots Kirk must have been his greatest triumph.
Anticipating that he might soon run out of churches and turn to other Anglophone organizations, we thought we'd warn you about him. He is himself Anglophone...
