Instruction manual
1
Start your search with special sites. In France, there is an analogue of the "yellow pages" with the addresses and phone numbers of individuals - Pages Blanches ("White Pages"). Visit the organization’s website at http://www.pagesjaunes.fr/pagesblanches
2
The site exists only in the French version, so if you do not know this language, clearly follow the instructions. On the site you will see three fields to fill in - Prénom (first name), nom (last name) and adresse (address). Enter the first and last name of the person you are looking for in the fields.

If you know the address, enter it. You can enter in this column, for example, only the city or region of residence. Naturally, this information should be recorded in French.
4
Click on the purple Trouver button. After that, the system will give you a list of persons matching the request. But your friend may not be in a squeak, as the "white pages" contain only the phone numbers of those to whom this number is registered. In this case, try searching again by the name of the husband or wife of the person you are looking for, if you know them.
5
In case you ate a search on this site did not give anything, look at the forums of compatriots in France. On sites such as the Infrance.ru forum or the Maxim EndCo website, you can post your message about finding a person. Perhaps she herself or someone from his Russian-speaking acquaintances happens on similar resources.

Also look for the person of interest on the website of the social network Facebook. It is used not only by residents of English-speaking countries, but also by the French. To do this, you will need to register in the system and select the search mode on your page. You can search by name, place of residence, and place of study.
Helpful advice
