Sign up to meet British ambassador
The British Ambassador and members of his team will visit towns around France over coming weeks to hear Britons’ concerns about Brexit and answer questions.
In a public message on social media the ambassador, Lord Ed Llewllyn, says the embassy has already held many meetings on Brexit in connection with British associations and other organisations, however the new free information meetings especially aim at reaching out to people who are not part of any of these groups.
The embassy says space is limited, so those interested should check out the separate links for the events and sign up as soon as possible. They say they expect to continuing with more 'outreach' in the new year.
The dates released so far are:
