That's good to hear!
I hope you find some of this advice useful, Angelique.

1). Since France is not too far from London, why not inquire with webmasters at British tickling sites or with people in charge of British tickle gatherings? Perhaps they know what exists in France. After all, many Britons descend on France for business or vacations, and some of them have to be tickling fans.
If you wish to inquire without anyone knowing your identity, you can set up a Hotmail or Yahoo e-mail address under a false name. That is what I use (Yahoo) to communicate with people from this board. That way, if you ask someone who turns out to be too weird, he or she will never know your real identity.
2). Amsterdam may also be an option, as that is one of the world's kink capitals. Antwerp, too, I am told. There is an enormous gay tourist industry in Amsterdam, and many Britons are clientele. Surely gay tickle fans in Amsterdam would be willing to give advice to a heterosexual woman in a nearby country.
3). Keep looking for French speakers on this board. There is a gentleman in France on the French thread in which we both posted--and a French-speaking Canadian as well. Why not send them private messages?
4). Surely there are some bondage or S&M groups in France. You can send an e-mail asking about tickling. The worst that can happen is that the person you contact does not like tickling and either ignores you or sends a nasty response. But if you use Yahoo or Hotmail, he or she will never know who you are.
5). I have been to Paris a few times, and I know that there are women's bookstores and alternative bookstores. Books about sexuality or kinky sex may have contact information for groups. These groups may then have information about tickling in France.
6). Put a signature in bold letters (as I have done) on your posts so people who don't see this thread will know to contact you if they have information. You might want to write it in both French and English--and in any other language you speak.
7). Here's a really good thread called "Question about bringing up tickling." Some of this might work for you.

8). Be resourceful! I know how hard it is to have an interest and not know anyone willing to practice it, but that won't stop me and I hope it won't stop you. I am feeling tickle-starved myself these days, but I continue to look for options. Keep asking and asking. Eventually, someone will be able to help!
