We're celebrating our 15th anniversary! Free gift...
Free gift when you spend €15 in our online shop (not including postage) for the next 15 days...

This month, The Connexion celebrates 15 years of helping readers make the most of life in France - and we would like to thank you, readers and advertisers, for letting us.
A lot has happened since the first edition was published in October 2002. We have enjoyed working to find out more about the many changes we have seen living and working in France over the past decade-and-a-half. We've gone through changes, too. We've gone online, and this year relaunched our website. This month, we published the first of a new 24-page French Living supplement, free with the paper. We're now up to edition 180 of our printed paper, and we're working on issue 181 - while our website brings you daily news and features at the click of a mouse.
We would like to celebrate our 15th anniversary with you. Starting today, we are offering a free gift to everyone who spends €15 or more (not including postage) on items for sale in our online shop or helpguide section during the next 15 days.
If you spend €15 in a single transaction from today until midnight on Tuesday, October 17, we will send you a complimentary French-made, vineyard-themed tea-towel, worth €11.50, with your order (while stocks last). It's a great way to add a French touch to any kitchen!
The offer applies to purchases of our charity 2018 wall calendar, our French-themed puzzle books, our range of helpguides or our French-made tea towels. Please note, however, it excludes spending on subscriptions.
You can order all our products right here on The Connexion website - just click on Helpguides or Shop. But, if you prefer, you can call us on 0033 (0)6 40 55 71 63 - we'll be happy to help.
Thank you again - and here's to the next 15 years.
