How do I meet people in Strasbourg?
When we asked people living in Strasbourg about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded:
"Expats in Strasbourg, typically join clubs or activities related to their interests in order to meet like-minded people. Examples of popular clubs include book clubs, film clubs, language exchange clubs, and sports clubs. Social events such as concerts, art exhibitions, and festivals also offer excellent opportunities for expats to get to know their new city and culture. Expats can also join international, multilingual forums and attend meet-ups to make new friends and contacts. Additionally, taking classes in French can be a great way to practice the language, learn about the culture, and meet new people," said one person in Strasbourg, France.
"Even after being here for 21 months, I am still finding it hard to meet people. The students only seem to mix with students and people seem very clicky and not willing to let you into their established 'group'. Have joined a gym and am a member of the English Speaking Community, but they hold events during work hours, which is a bit of a dead end for me," remarked one foreigner who made the move to Strasbourg.
