my wife is going to be teaching as a visiting professor at the University of Grenoble–an old book I have states that French taxes include
taxes on USA income if a person earns income in France and stays in France more than 6 months– I know taxes are complicated — so you may not know the answer to this
so if can refer me to a tax expert that would be excellent

Great to come across this site, I’m playing with the idea of moving to France with my (French) other half, I am a business women and feel slightly daunted at starting over again. I find networking sites over here in Dublin really beneficial, the support offered being the most key thing. Best of luck.

I’ve seen the WWNG grow from day one when Mickey had the wonderful idea to bring professional English-speaking women in the Grenoble area together to build a networking system that would amplify professional opportunities for all. In the early days, when I was just opening my psychotherapy practice in downtown Grenoble, and Mickey was looking for a “home” for the WWNG, meetings were held in my office. Not only was it a pleasure for me to watch the WWNG become a vibrant hub of professional activity, but my own practice grew thanks to the many women who consulted me and referred others to my practice.

Mickey’s energy, professional manner and pedagogical approach in creating WWNG are impressive. With WWNG, she has become an important ‘thread’ in the Grenoble ‘fiber’.

I have been a member of WWNG for 4 years now and have successfully transformed myself, career and entrepreneurial business thanks to the professional women in the group. It is an excellent mix of give/take for those seeking a truly professional network. Let the networking virus spread freely!

I can only join Amy and Joëlle in saying that WWNG is a great network, support system and a place where we can swap experiences, resources and ideas. Having a more “professional” approach as the one provided by Mickey makes a big difference compared to the more “social” approach usually favored by other French networks. Keep up the good work Mickey!

I have known Mickey for nearly 6 years, and had the opportunity to work with her about 3 years ago when I was Sales VP at Soitec in Bernin. She was extremely helpful, along with Sophie BOISSIER of Youtopie, in training our small team on developing and delivering a very key presentation to Nokia. Mickey’s understanding of technology businesses was a real bonus.

I concur Amy.

Through WWNG, I met fabulous women and ended trying out some of the great advice given to me during those PEP sessions.

Thanks for the exposure!

It’s great to read about the WWNG here!
I have been a member for some time now, and find it a valuable resource. I have attended Professional Enrichment Sessions in the past which helped encourage me to take that next step towards my new career. Now that I am ready to start creating my new business plan, I am sure that my contacts at WWNG will play a big part in this next stage of my professional life. Articles like this really get the word out and I hope to meet some new people in the Fall who heard about WWNG through this website!
