The Spanish-speaking community in Paris
The Spanish-speaking community in Paris is both long-established and constantly renewed: Spaniards who settled decades ago, Latin Americans (Mexicans, Colombians, Argentinians, Venezuelans, Peruvians) and internationally mobile professionals.
Spanish is the third most spoken language in the world and the official language of 21 countries. Our interpreters are trained in both Castilian Spanish and Latin American Spanish registers.
