Thanks all, I've emailed a few people I've found near where we stayed recently, and signed up for the 'sharedtalk' site too. Much appreciated!

Hi   It's my first post here, though I have been a 'lurker' for a while and have learnt a lot, so thank you!   I hope to move to France at some point in the future (probably quite distant future) but as a reasonably regular visitor and having discovered a tiny distant bit of frenchness in my family tree (not to mention being something of a francophile anyway) I have been trying to get my language skills up to scratch.   Anyway, I have been looking for some sort of online resource or forum where I could meet some French people to converse with via email. I've googled various combinations and not really found anything suitable, and my French isn't good enough to seek out French forums or message boards. Plus it'd be nice to be able to speak to people who are a similar age to me (early 30s) and who have a decent taste in music (including, but not restricted to, a Serge Gainsbourg obsession).   I wondered if anyone here might have any suggestions or ideas?   Thanks in advance!   lb
