The mission of the association is to support and strengthen the Irish community in France, in all its diversity.
One of the primary ways we achieve our mission is by organising a wide range of events for all ages, including cultural, sporting, online, social and maybe even a visit from Santa! Our members also benefit from a range of discounts for events run by our Advantage Partners.
Through our Facebook Group, newsletter, Twitter and Instagram, we also keep the community up-to-date on the Irish in France events of interest in Paris and throughout France.

The Six Nations and the upcoming Rugby World Cup are great opportunities for the community to get together.
Every year we organise informal meet-ups in one of our Advantage Partners bars. These are organised in association with NetworkIrlande.
Come back soon for more 2023 rugby meet-ups and a chance to watch the Irish team training in Tours…
A get-together before the hols, a ‘big night out’ for the community – music, dancing and chat, a great night.
Come back soon for more info about our 2023 Summer event.

In 2018, we organised the first ever St. Patrick’s day parade in Paris which was a great success! In 2019 the parade was even bigger and better, with over two thousand people attending.
In 2020, the parade unfortunately had to be cancelled and in 2021 we celebrated together online. Where there’s a will, there’s a way! And finally, we were back together in person in March 2022.
For 2023, we’re back again, on March 12th, for music, dancing, burgers and more…there might even be a touch of rugby on the day!
We have a very special honourary member in the assocation who comes to see us once a year!
A certain Mr. Santa Claus always delights our younger members in December with presents, good humour and the odd song.
In December 2019, H.E. Excellency Patricia O’Brien, Ambassador of Ireland to France welcomed our members to the embassy for our Christmas party, a wonderful occasion and a great turnout, despite the strikes!
We love our Christmas events, especially in such beautiful surroundings as the Irish Embassy in Paris to whom we are so grateful for their support.

Egg and spoon races, welly throwing, introduction to Hurling and Gaelic Football with Paris Gaels, always a great day out for the young and the young at heart.

One of the highlights for the association over the years has been a group trip to the inauguration of the Irish Peace Garden at the Historial Museum de la Grande Guerre, in Péronne.
A moving and fascinating day where we were warmly welcomed by the local communities.
