“Thanks for organizing the most important two days since my arrival this summer in Paris.  You and your team created a masterpiece.....”

Laura Berkshire, October, 2005

 

"Although I had lived abroad prior to moving to Paris, I was not fully prepared for the culture shock of living in France.  BLOOM provided me with invaluable information about daily life in France -- from health care and shopping tips to social activities and more -- in a very welcoming environment.  Plus, I got a head start in developing a circle of friends."

Mara Jauntirans, March, 2005

 

“Bloom was such a rewarding experience for me.  I had the opportunity to meet several friends whom I still keep in touch with, find ways to get involved in the community, and get answers to my questions on adjusting to Parisian life.  I recommend it to everyone!” 

Lorie Lutz, March, 2005
