A human bridge between France and the United States
Welcome to France-USA-Net.Com! Since 2013, a team of passionate volunteers has been working to bring two great nations closer together through culture, history and mutual support. Here is our story.
We hope you enjoy browsing our website and find plenty of useful information here. Our goal is to help you better understand both French and American cultures. We regularly update our content.
The people who contribute articles and information to this site are enthusiasts just like you. They post their articles in the forum area; a translation is then made so that every piece of content becomes available in the other language. We are unpaid volunteers: the site is funded and the domain name paid for by a donor.
“To strengthen mutual understanding between our two beautiful and great nations.” This has been our mission from day one.

Who are we?
This question often comes up in the emails we receive. In the very beginning, we were five people driven by the same desire: to share the bonds, culture and relationships that connect the United States and France.
While diplomatic relations between the two countries have existed for a very long time, we noticed that the two populations actually knew very little about each other. So we decided to create our organization to bridge that gap.
🤝
Our organization
Our organization works in teams, grouped by country: an American team and a French team. Each one writes articles through the Official Forum, which are then shared and translated before being published in the Petit Journal and on the information page of the relevant country.
Members communicate with each other by email thanks to a professional "@france-usa-net.com" address provided after their membership request, or chat directly through the Forum's dedicated spaces.
