French Expats Abroad

New
Exceptional Meetings for French Expats and International Profiles

You are not alone.
Nearly one third of expatriate professionals around the world are single.

For many, starting a mission abroad alone is ideal: no partner to relocate, no long-distance relationship to manage, which lets you focus fully on your career. But as you settle into your new environment, the appeal of being single can fade.

Although there are many ways to meet people : sports clubs, leisure activities, expat meetups, or dating apps. Falling in love as an expatriate comes with unique challenges. Cultural differences, language barriers, unfamiliar social norms can complicate forming genuine connections. Add to that the uncertainty about how long you’ll stay, and building a lasting relationship becomes even more complex.

Who is this service for?

We mainly serve a French clientele, whether living in France or abroad, who wish to meet a partner in Europe or internationally. We also welcome Europeans and profiles from all over the world who aspire to build a solid and harmonious relationship with a French person. Our bespoke approach, based on rigorous selection criteria, fosters genuine, sincere encounters designed to endure.

Proficiency in English remains an essential requirement to join our agency.

Our members are dynamic professionals, often in mid or late career, holding responsible positions across diverse sectors : finance, technology, art, diplomacy. They are sharing a common aspiration: to make “The Beautiful Encounter” in their new environment. They are aware of the specificities of meeting people abroad and seek discreet and effective support to navigate this landscape.

If you see yourself in this portrait, perhaps a senior executive recently transferred to Paris, an entrepreneur settled in Lisbon, or a consultant on assignment in London ; no matter your field or your city of residence, if you are an accomplished professional, a single expatriate eager to build a lasting relationship, our service is designed with you in mind.

We understand your time constraints and your need for efficiency in your quest for love. Our personalized approach is the key to helping you meet someone who shares your values and aspirations.

This is where we come in

At ELC International, we specialize in international matchmaking and fully understand the subtleties involved in relationships between expatriates.

Our matchmaking process is designed to be as smooth and transparent as possible. After an initial contact and thorough analysis of your expectations, we carry out a rigorous selection of potential partners. This selection is not based only on surface criteria but takes into account your personality, values, and deepest aspirations.

Once potential profiles are identified, we present anonymized profile sheets. If there is mutual interest, we organize the first meeting in a neutral and pleasant setting, chosen to foster exchange and discovery. We guide you every step of the way, from the first interactions to the first encounter to ensure a positive and discreet experience.

Our expertise in behavioral analysis enables us to look beyond appearances and select high sociocultural level singles with whom you have genuine affinities. The goal is to introduce you to people who share your life vision and who are truly seeking a serious, lasting relationship. We take into account the specific challenges of expatriation, such as cultural differences, to facilitate real connection.

We understand that entrusting your love life to an exclusive matchmaking service can raise questions. That is why we place great importance on transparency in our process. Every step is clearly explained to you, and you remain in control of your decisions.
