<p>I had the best retreat experience of my life at plumvillage.org - near Bordeaux. I think there's more than one Paris sangha of the Plum Village order. I don't want to sound like a proselytizer, but in my opinion, any serious practitioner must spend some time if possible with Thay.</p>

If you've gone through a [10-day Vipassana course](http://www.dhamma.org/) ([available in France](http://www.dhamma.org/en/locations/directory), but not in Paris), you can take a [1-day Vipassana course for old students in Paris](http://www.dhamma.org/en/schedules/schmahi#paris.fr). They're both in French and English.

There's a [Triratna centre in Paris](http://www.centrebouddhisteparis.org). The people that I know who are running it speak English, but their website is in French and I'm not sure about what language is used in teachings etc. (never been there myself unfortunately).
