Association France Lyme

Association France Lyme is a French national patient association focused on Lyme borreliosis and other tick-borne diseases. Its work brings together information, prevention, patient support and advocacy, helping people affected by these illnesses, their families and the wider public find practical, accessible resources.

The association provides guidance on preventing tick bites, responding after a bite, and taking precautions during outdoor activities, gardening and time with pets. Its website also offers information about ticks, symptoms, diagnosis and laboratory testing, treatment, children’s health and social support, alongside videos, documentaries, patient accounts and frequently asked questions.

France Lyme encourages connection through patient meetups, regional volunteer networks and an online peer-support community. It also organises or shares conferences, public information stands and other local activities across France, and works on medical, research, legal and political issues related to tick-borne diseases. News, educational materials and updates on these topics are available through its website and social channels. People can learn how to participate, find volunteers in their region, contact the association, or support its activities.
