Cahill, I have been training Okinawan Goju Ryu Shoreikan/Toguchi lineage as well as Matayoshi Kobudo for over 30 years. While I can't vouch for this dojo, if I found my self in France, I would try to visit it: Karate Do Goju Ryu D'okinawa Shorei Kan 7 Rue des Deux Ponts, 24000 Périgueux, France Phone: +33 5 53 09 27 16 http://www.karategojuryu.org/ Another option could be: IOGKF https://www.facebook.com/afkgo/ Again, I've no experience with this dojo, but did train Jundokan lineage Goju for over 10 years. I'm clueless about the geography of France, so I don't know if these are close to where you'll be. Good luck on your search, and let us know how it goes. Chris
