New french vegan since 1 week & a half

[Oceanwave]

Being a vegan in France seems à total absurdity for most people around me. I wish I could live in England where I've always found tolerance & great replacement products. It's quite the same in Germany, much more open to this deepest way of respect towards the animals. Well, France seems to get a little more open. If you've got time, go at www.veggiepride.org
I was a végétarian during 12 years, made a transition to veganisme during 6 months before completely plunged myself in the joy of non cruelty world, by my behaviour or what I put on my plates.
Now, pleassssssssssse, may I post in the vegan section ?

Don't worry! I like the spelling of "veganisme" so much better than "veganism" anyway.

I am glad you find it joyfull. I hope you will post in the vegan sections soon, if you can't yet. Have you tried?

Thanks very much Korn. I recognized I'm sometimes a bit snappy, sorry. At least, I apologize I deserve to be whip with a dozen of pesto sauce spaghettis

Then let's go & make some new friends among animal lovers,

Hello, as I can see you're an animal lover too. I've got 8 kittties from 1 y.o to 16, all of them rescued from the streets or after their owner's death. I'm working with an animal association too.

Hi there! Je voudrais habiter en France encore - quand j'etais plus jeunes j'ai travaillé a France pendant quelques etés. Malheureusement je trouve que c'est difacile ecrire en francais, mais je comprend assez bien, et j'adore la payes. C'est triste que veganisme n'est pas encore tres bien connu, mais la jour approches.

Okay, I will write in English now! I cannot spell in French. I love France, and the French, and daydream that when I am old I will move to France and veganise the nation. Mind you, I dream that about Ireland as well.

Thank you for going vegan. I feel really happy every time I see someone else go vegan. You make the world a better place, with your example. I am sure you help the children you work with too. Isn't it funny how many vegans work in the caring professions?

Hello, Mary,

Your french is very good, certainely better than my english. I worked several times as an aupair in England, close to bath & I was fiancée to an american man during 2 years before we broke up.
I've got 2 to 4 kids from my school for lunchtime 4 times a week.
Since this year, i'm not cooking meat for them anymore. Most of the time, they're eating vegetarian & sometimes they've got completely vegan lunches. I cannot cook vegan all the times, their parents are OK for vegetarism because i'm uying very healthy food for them but as they pay (and they're not my own kids) & they ask about the menu, I cannot do anything else than add cheese for them & sometimes farm eggs.
I'm living in a medium city & for most people veganism is associated as a kind of sect. Kids love my vegan lemon waffles, pancakes or my fake ham & olives muffins. I always tell them the truth about what they're eating, telling them it's not meat, but it's far better than real chicken or pork, because no animal was killed for my meals.

Welcome to the forum !

Hi, I'm living in Dijon, Burgundy Capital, good wine & mustard. In a medium sized city which has got great middle-aged houses. Are you studying or living in France ?

Salut, je vis à Dijon, Capitale de la Bourgogne, des bon vin et de la moutard, dans une ville de taille moyenne qui possèdent de superbes maisons du Moyen-Age. Etudies-tu en France ou y vis-tu ?

In fact, LOL, I don't drink wine. It's very hard to get a list about wines which are not "purify" with animal bones or treated with beef blood as i've heard. I'll have a look at the french vegetarian / vegan site i belong too, ask about it & tell it to you later.


It's really great to give your dogs the present of a better life they had before. Sometimes, there are much more humanity in their eyes than in one of our fellow human neighbor.

Hi Ocean Wave.

Neil and I do a website called "is it vegan". If you know the French website, could you tell them that "is it vegan" is up and running. If they want access to start doing a French version we will let them have it. Then we would put a French flag on the front page, and people can go to see what French wines are vegan.

T4W, if you look at is it vegan you will see a long list of which French wines are vegan in the UK. Also, we have updated Tescos list.
www.isitvegan.info (my memory is awful. I may have pasted that in my signature, but I am too lazy to check. D'oh!)

[tails4wagging]

Thanks, It is sometimes difficult to get vegan wines.

Normally they contain gelatin, blood and isinglas (swim bladders of fish)!!!!.

[Kevster]

Welcome,

I have a vegetarian friend in France, and she reckons that it was quite difficult when she first moved out, especially when eating with neighbours, still the best way to find out about veganism is to meet one,

Welcome Oceanwave, you have come to the right place, this is a very friendly forum

I have been to France a few times, my parents regularly go to the South, especially Nice and love the food - alas, they eat meat and I worry if I went along with them I would find it difficult to eat out.

Is it easy to get vegan products e.g. soy milk in French supermarkets?
