LLL of France was founded in 1975.

Jini Fairley (Pioneer) ~ “April in Paris” 1975 was the time and place of the very first LLL meeting I ever led. It was also the first meeting of La Leche League in Paris, France. I remember it well. The afternoon sun was shining, my apartment was ready, my two children, Kevin, just turned 3, and Jessica, 2 months, were keeping me busy so I wouldn’t get too nervous; and Karima Khatib was there as my co-Leader. The mothers and babies came, and I was so amazed that we had nine countries represented, with the common bond of breastfeeding transcending the language barriers. (The meeting was held in English.) Karima had traveled over an hour each way by train and metro, with several children, to support me. We did this for each other. We had one Group, LLL of Paris, in two locations, and each of us went to the other’s meeting monthly. Eventually that one Group became two separate Groups,
and within a year there were bilingual Leaders and French Leaders holding meetings in French beyond Paris and its suburbs.
