Some Top French Sites

Are You Cool Enough? And you thought there was no alternative sports scene in France! Agoride.com covers everything from from rollerskating to surfing to skiing to BMX. Lists events, tips and tricks, and the best 'spots' to practice or watch said sport. For example, the steps of the Modern Art Museum in Paris are apparently world famous for skaters of all nationalities. The site seems to have a strong video game connection as well, if that interests you. Not yet in English, but the little flag is there (just to taunt, I suppose).

See the Real Paris Paris Balades is a great site that covers many neighborhoods better than any current guidebook. There's an English section, but it's very, very small compared to the vast info in the French section: guided walks of every Paris neighborhood, with photos, explaining monuments, architecture and history of the areas. There's also a listing of people who give scheduled tours of different parts of the city (in French). It's sites like this that make me realize how little I know of Paris...

French Bureaucracy at It's Best...For Once Service Public is one of the best places to get clear, concise info on all of the bureaucratic, legal, and administrative headaches residents have to deal with in France: where to file taxes, driving regulations, how to register a vehicle, marriage laws, where to vote, changing address on your Carte de Séjour, how to sue someone, what to do if you've lost your job, and even where to get a fishing permit. Much, much more. There's an info page in English, but the real info is essentially French.
