Bonjour,
je m'envole dans qq temps en guyane, précisément à matoury. je ne trouve aucune info sur le net à propos de cette commune. Quelqu'un peut-il m'en dire un peu plus?
Bien fréquenté? beau quartier? niveau des élèves? ( collège la canopée, si connaisseur)
En clair, de koi doit on avoir peur?
Merci bcp
Merci bcp
SLT,
J'ai vecue toute mon enfance a Matoury et j'y retourne souvent en vacances.
Tu seras dans quel etablissement et de quel coté logeras tu?
Je te pose ces questions car Matoury est tres vaste d'un point de vue geographique (tout est relatif, a ne pas comparer avec une grande ville metropolitaine) et les infos que tu desires avoir depend de l'endroit ou tu es affectée.

Coucou, merci de me répondre ;)
En fait je travaillerai au collège Matoury 1, appelé aussi la canopée. Pour l'instant, j'ai trouvé un toit temporaire chez l'habitant, mais je ne suis pas encore partie. Alors mm si ma décision est prise, j'aimerai bien savoir où je vais. Comment c'est là bas? si tu pouvais me donner le maximum d'infos ça serait sympa!
En fait, j'ai ete scolarisée a ce college de 1988 (annee d'ouverture) a 1992. Ensuite ont suivie mes cousines jusqu'en 2005. Leur scolarité s'est bien passée et la mienne aussi d'ailleurs.
Je pense qu'en matiere de qualité, c'est peut etre le meilleur college de Matoury.
Au niveau frequentation, la population est tres diversifiée autant sur les origines que sur le niveau social.
Mais, je ne connais pas les conditions de travail d'un enseignant.
Je ne pense pas que tu y retrouves plus de problemes qu'ailleurs. Tout depend de ce que tu recherches et des experiences que tu as vecues.
Pars tu avec une aprehension? d'ou ta question que je ne comprend pas: "Que quoi doit on avoir peur?"

Ben en fait, on m'a dit tellement d'horreurs sur la guyane " genre les serpents, les araignées "etc. que ça me fait un peu peur. Mais bon, je voudrais savoir où vaudrait-il mieux habiter, remire-montjoly, matoury ou cayenne.
Je recherche un endroit calme et où il ya des commerces à proximité. De sorte que je ne me retrouve pas perdue au fin fond d'une ville où il n'y a pas grand chose. Le plus beau coin pour habiter ce serait où? sachant que je pense m'acheter une tite voiture!
Hello !
Je vais aussi aller habiter en guyane à remire (à partir de novembre), et je suis déjà allé dans le coin. voici mon idée sur la question : remire Montjoly est plutot le coin "bourgeois" avec des maisons individuelles, piscine, etc. Tu as le Cora pas loin, si tu as besoin d'avoir des repères occidentaux ;-) (ceci dit les petits chinois sont souvent mieux). Il semblerai que ça soit plus calme. maintenant si tu habites Matoury meme, là je ne connais pas, mais je ne vois pas pourquoi ça craindrait plus qu'ailleurs. Il y a juste à cayenne meme que je n'aimerai pas habiter, car c'est la "ville", avec ses paumés. Ceci dit j'ai des amis qui y vivent très bien, y compris des femmes seules. Question de gout.
En tout cas ne t'en fait pas des horreurs qu'on dit sur la guyane, on ne croise pas de mygale et d'anaconda tous les jours... meme s'il y a un peu plus d'insécurité qu'en métropole, je m'y sent beaucoup plus en sureté que dans le métro à paris !
peut etre qu'un guyanais pourra confirmer ou infirmer mes propos...
bon voyage ! Nicolas

Merci bcp d'avoir éclairé ma lanterne! c vrai que le quartier de remire montjoly est attrayant mais les loyers y sont astronomiques, donc, par rapport à mon budget, je pense que je vais devoir m'installer à Matoury... Enfin sait-on jamais, peut'être trouverais-je l'appart de rêve. Car pour moi l'entourage est primordial et je vois que le confort et la sécurité ont un prix!
Bon je verrai bien sur place, mais en tout cas, mes craintes se sont largement dissipées, et je me sens fin prête à partir.
Dis moi, tu vas travailler dans quoi?
oui tu as raison il vaut mieux bien choisir son entourage et son appartement. Sinon ça peut dégénérer en cambriolage répétitifs...
pour ma part je vais faire quelques petits boulots, tout en passant le concours de professeur d'eps (hé oui, un de plus dans l'enseignement ;-)).
Et toi tu es prof si j'ai bien compris ?
à + nicolas
à + nicolas
prof contractuelle de Lettres plus exactement. :)
C vrai qu'il y a énormément d'enseignants en guyane, mais moi j'y vais pour valoriser ma maitrise de lettres et valider mon expérience professionnelle. Ensuite, au bout de 3 ans, je passerai le capes interne. Mais peut etre que je l'aurai avant, on verra bien.
excellent projet !! j'pensais justement prendre un poste de contractuel aussi. C'est ce qui est sympa en guyane. Mais ceci dit compte pas sur le concours interne vu la conjoncture actuelle ;-)
Surtout qu'en guyane, il faut bcp de volonté pour bosser un concours... hé oué entre ti punch, soirée par ci, et il y a tellement de choses à voir... et le rythme n'est pas pareil. C'est jouable, mais il faut une discipline de fer... (dont j'ai peur de manquer j'avoue lol).

Bonjour,
ça fait 10 ans que je vis en Guyane et au début j'ai habité à Matoury. C'est un petit bourg. J'adore le marché le dimanche et surtout pour moi il y a le meilleur pain à Matoury......... Sinon tu peux venir discuter avec nous sur le forum, voir le lien dans ma signature..........
à bientôt
ps, je découvre ce site, il est géant 😄

Bonjour,
J'habite à Matoury depuis 4 ans et c'est un endroit sympa; moins riche que Rémire mais il y a des quartiers trés agréables.
Il n'y a pas d'insécurité notoire ; juste des vols comme partout ailleurs; Beaucoup de chinois ou tu peux faire tes courses, un marché le dimanche, une grande piscine .
Pour ce qui est du niveau des élèves il est le même qu'ailleurs. La canopée a bonne réputation.

coucou
Je ne sais pas où tu en es dans ta recherche de logement sur Matoury ni si tu es déjà en Guyane. Moi je suis originaire de Guyane et je vis en métropole. Mon père vit encore en Guyane et à MAtoury. Il loue des studios...ça peut peut-être t'intéresser. Si c'est le cas fais moi signe et je peux en parler à mon père!

Bonjour, je vais etre mutée en guyane à la rentrée 2013 et souhaiterais avoir quelques infos concernant ces collèges :

Collège Victor Schoelcher à Kourou
Collège Paule Berthelot Rue de la Rivière Village Javouhey à Mana
Les différents collèges à saint Laurent du Maroni : CLG ALBERT LONDRES / CLG PAUL JEAN-LOUIS / CLG ARSENE BOUYER D'ANGOMA /
Je dois faire mes vœux et je ne connais pas les collèges. Merci d'avance.

Bonjour,
Apparemment mon MSG est mal passé .
Je disais qu.il est essentiel que tu décide de ton affectation en fonction du lieu et moins du collège car tous ces endroits sont totalement différents .
Je connais celui de Concorde car mes enfants y etaient . C.est assez calme. À côté de Matoury donc pas loin de Cayenne.
Je te conseillerai Cayenne ou Matoury'
Kourou à plus de problèmes d.insecurite. St. Laurent, c.est loin et Mana tout petit
À toi de voir ce que tu veux faire les jours ou tu ne travaillera pas.
Richard Phil
Merci beaucoup pour ta réponse. J'avais effectivement fait mes vœux par rapport aux lieux. Mais je n'ai pas beaucoup de choix dans Cayenne. Et il y a des collèges peut être a éviter. Par exemple, on m'a dit de ne pas aller au collège PAUL KAPEL, CITE EAU LISETTE qui est situé dans les bidonvilles. Du coup, j'hésite a mettre Cayenne pour ne pas avoir ce genre de collège. Cordialement.
le mieux est Mana ou Saint-Laurent!
il faut arreter de vouloir rester près de Cayenne, et réfléchir à ce qu'on veut!
Cayenne est la capitale et détient le plus grand nombre d'habitants par conséquent, ce qui engendre embouteillages, insécurité et tout le tralala.
tandis que dans l'ouest, c'est plus calme et humain!
après tout dépend de ce que vous recherchez!
Bonjour, je n'ai pas mis Cayenne sauf en dernier vœu. J'ai mis matoury, kourou, mana, saint laurent du maroni, cayenne. Cordialement.
Bonjour, je suis mutée au collège Matoury III (Collège Concorde, Maurice DUMESNIL). Je voudrais avoir quelques infos concernant ce collège (réputation, fréquentation ...).
Et si le mieux est de vivre à Matoury ou aux alentours. Merci. Cordialement.

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,

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!!

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[;)!!!]
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.

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! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol

Hi! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
