Travailler à Abidjan avec deux enfants (Côte d'Ivoire)

Original post
Bonjour à tous,
on propose à mon conjoint de travailler à abidjan et de partir tous ensemble (papa, maman, fille de 4 ans et fille de 8 ans). il faut avouer que l'on est intéressé mais biensur vu actuellement les élections, nous nous posons quelques questions.
je souhaiterais avoir des contacts avec des personnes vivant à abidjan afin de connaitre un peu mieux la situation vu de l'intérieur de la ville (si possible avec des enfants francais).
Ce choix est tellement difficilement à prendre car étant loin et par précaution envers mes 2 filles : sécurité, pollution...(meme si mes enfants auront une chance énorme de connaitre un pays africain, leur culture....). il est vrai que sans enfant nous partirions toute de suite mais dans notre cas, je préfère prendre contact afin de mieux connaitre ce pays et cette ville. Merci d'avance pour vos réponses et à bientot (peut etre à abidjan...)

bonjour
une opportunité se présente à vous pour resider à ABIDJAN...en famille ..vu le contrat de travail de votre conjoint...avec des enfants de 4 et 8 ans ...
il faudrait voir avec la communauté francaise presente sur place...les conditions de vie et de travail...
perso nous avions habité en famille dans le district du plateau ..bien des années auparavant...
dans un immeuble....pas de villas...
aussi penser à la scolarisation des enfants...dans une ecole de proximité...
enfin s'informer sur tout...la conjoncture...faire une etude approfondie ...et puis se decider...

merci pour ta réponse, c'est vrai que nous nous informons sur cette ville et ce pays et qu'il excite 450 écoles européennes en cote d'ivoire. de toute facon, c'est surtout pour nos 2 filles qu'il faut absolument, comme tu le dis, faire une étude approfondie de notre future séjour à abidjan...
merci beaucoup encore pour ta réponse
bye
Il y a Notre Dame du Plâteau une très bonne école ma fille y est allée maintenant je pense qu'il faut attendre les élections en attendant ton mari peut partir, je ne sais pas j'ai passé 25 années dans ce beau pays mais c'était à la belle époque, aujourd'hui à la retraite j'attends d'abord les élections car la situation est loin d'être réglée

Que c'est difficile de se décider! Je suis à peu près dans la même situation, on me propose un poste à Abidjan et j'adorerais accepter!! Mais j'ai 3 enfants et j'ai peur d'être irresponsable si j'accepte alors qu'il va y avoir des élections..En même temps je ne peux pas attendre qu'elles soient passées, il sera trop tard..C'est trop dur! Je ne sais plus quoi faire ni qui écouter. Je suis en contact avec celle qui pourrait devenir ma directrice, elle me dit qu'elle n'a jamais quitté la CI, qu'elle ne se fait aucun souci, que tout va se rétablir.. mais bon ce n'est pas l'avis de tout le monde!!
Tiens nous au courant! pour ma part, je dois prendre ma décision pendant les vacances de Pâques..je ne sais pas du tout ce que je vais faire!!

bonjour si ta Directrice est prête à vous protéger ATTENTION je suis parti de la Côte d'ivoire il y a maintenant 10 ans donc je peux rien te dire .Après tout si tu es inscrite au Consulat SI il y a problème tu sera rapatriée avec ta famille tu sais moi je vais repartir en Afrique si on devait faire attention dans la vie on ne ferait jamais rien alors fonce mais il faut vous inscrire au Consulat sinon comme les Ivoiriens aiment à le dire "il n'y a que l'homme qui a peur sinon il n'y a rien " si le salaire y est ?
akwaba
Ouais bof, le salaire d'un prof tu sais c'est pas terrible. Et encore, je pensais qu'avec 1 million de cfa, on pouvait vivre décemment, mais apparemment plus maintenant. Tout a énormément augmenté. On pourrait s'en sortir je pense, mais si on devait être rapatriés, ce serait l'angoisse, j'ai pas un sou de côté.
C'est sûr que si j'attends une place en or, dans un pays de rêve où il n'y a jamais de problème, je risque pas de voir du pays de sitôt... que faire??
Si seulement ces sacrées élections pouvaient être passées je serai plus rassurée, je me pose déjà assez de questions sur la faisabilité financière du projet, l'instabilité en plus ça fait beaucoup pour moi comme inquiétudes!!

Bonjour Felicie
Est e que tu parles du recrutement pour la réouveerture du Lycee Blaise Pascal pour la prochaine rentrée?
Ci c'est de cela dont tu parles, je comprends ton inquiétude !
Apres moultes hesitations, ma femme et moi - tous les deux profs, c'est vrai que l'argent n'est pas la motivation pemiére, sinon nous aurions changé de metier depuis longtemps!
venons de postuler auprés de l'ambassade
pafois je me

Non, je suis prof du primaire j'irai travailler à Paul Langevin. Par contre si j'étais à votre place je ne me ferais pas trop de souci. Vous êtes deux à bosser en plus vous aurez un statut de résident, il n'y aura pas de problème, si la CI vous branche foncez. Pour le primaire on ne trouve que des contrats locaux, si tout se passe normalement les contrats résidents seront rétablis rentrée 2009.
Dis moi si votre candidature a téé retenue. Bonne chance!
Qu'est ce qu'il vous faut pour enseigner dans ces écoles francaises à abidjan? par ce que j'adorerais retourner en côte d'ivoire à un tel poste, pour moi qui suis ivoirienne c'est tout bénèf!
sion pour vos inquiétudes: moi je suis une ancienne élève du lycée blaise pascal, et je suis venue en France en 2003 lorsqu'il y a eut la crise. c'est vrai qu'ici avec les médias qui ont amplifié la situation on avait l'impression que le pays entier était en flamme, et qu'il y avait une chasse aux francais, mais rassure-vus, pleins d'ivoiriens, comme moi, sont venus en même temps que ces francais (ils sont juste pas passé sur tf1 ou fr2), et là avec les élections qui vont arriver, aucun soucis à vous faire comme vous a dit votre directrice qui n'a jamais quitté le pays, ce sont juste les médias qui amplifient la situation (je sais pas comme les grèves qu'il y a eut a paris, oules voitures incendiés dans les quartiers, vu de l'extérieur, les américains ou autre pensaient que la france partait en flamme! lol, j'exagère unpeu mais c ca). Et c'est un pay trèsaccueillant, et surtout envers les étrangers, les "blancs" comme on dit: mon mari est "blanc", français, et tous les autres francais que je connaissaient déja labas au lycée etc, c'est à peine s'ils veulent revenir en France, ils ont toujours la nostalgie de ce pays, qui devient vraiment votre pays adoptif.
en plus ca fera du bien a vos enfants aussi, de voir autre chose, d'autres cultures etc, et de ne pas imaginer les africains comme Hergé (tintin au congo, noir carbonisé avec d'énorme lèvre rouge lol), ou encore d'imaginer voir des vaches ou girafes dans les rues! lol
allez voir aussi ces quelques photos que j'ai atachés, que vous retrouverez sur le site du routard.com

Encore si nous n'avions pas eu les enfants peut-être....Te propose t'on un poste en expat ou résident ? Nous c'etait le deuxième cas de figure et le jeu n'en valait clairement pas la chandelle!

Hi everyone,
I’ve got a job offer in Cebu and I’m currently negotiating the financial terms...
For those of you who are experienced or expats there, could someone help me evaluate the cost of living so I can get an idea of my monthly budget?
- Rent for an apartment or small house (2 people) - Miscellaneous expenses: utilities, electricity, phone, internet, insurance - Local taxes or fees?
Thanks for your help, tips, and experiences!

Hi,
I’m looking for real first-hand experiences from adults who’ve done a language stay in Canada, specifically in Vancouver or Toronto.
There are so many different schools and reviews that are both negative and positive (how can you tell if they’re genuine?!) that I’d rather hear from real people.
I’m looking for fun courses where you really make progress in speaking and comprehension. + Homestay accommodation: good or bad idea?
I’m 35—this would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me since I’ve dreamed about it since I was 17! I really don’t want to mess this up, especially given how much it costs!

Hi,
I’m leaving on September 4th for Vancouver as a tourist for 6 months.
My boyfriend works there, so I’m going to visit him. I’d like to take the opportunity to learn English at a school during October and November.
Could you recommend any schools—price, activities, location, reputation, etc.?
Also, any good health insurance suggestions?

Hi! I’m 76 and have traveled a lot in my life, and now I’m looking to settle in Réunion.
I’ve seen a retirement community in Saint-Pierre (Ravine des Cabris) and a residence called Village d’Or in Sainte-Clotilde. I have a feeling that living in Saint-Joseph might be better. I’ve submitted both applications and would love your thoughts—also if you know of any friendly small residences for rent, or if you have experience living there.
My pension is 1,460 €.
Thanks so much for your help! Looking forward to hearing from you—warm regards to everyone

After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.
My slogan: To be visibly useful to society
You’ve got to dare, even if it makes you tremble.

Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

Hi everyone,
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant. In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there? Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on! Thanks for your feedback!!

Hi everyone!
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻

Hi everyone,
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?

Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

Hi,
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]

Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]
Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
