“Paul Blanchard, creator of WeGotFrenched.com, shares insights, humor & advice to help Americans navigate life in France.”
I’m Paul Blanchard, the mind behind WeGotFrenched.com, the go-to resource for Americans dreaming of moving to France. After a successful career in sales management and high-end sales training—where I developed programs for industry giants like General Electric—I traded corporate boardrooms for vineyard views and reinvented my life in a restored French winery.
My story isn’t just about logistics and paperwork (though I’ve mastered those too); it’s about embracing dépaysement—the joy of cultural and personal reinvention. With a mix of humor, relatable storytelling, and practical advice, I guide others through the highs, lows, and “Did I just order a cow’s tongue?” moments of expat life.
As a seasoned public speaker, I know how to keep an audience engaged—whether it’s a room of executives or a podcast full of dreamers plotting their escape to the French countryside. I’m passionate about sharing stories that entertain, inform, and inspire others to take the leap and savor their own adventure.
Let’s chat about visas, baguettes, culture shocks, and everything in between. Your audience will laugh, learn, and maybe even start packing.
