Location
Open in Google MapsLiving in Angers
Voted the #1 place to live in France by L'Express, Angers is a Loire Valley city of 150,000 with remarkably affordable housing, over 100 annual cultural events, and a growing expat community (roughly 15% of the population). It's 1.5 hours to Paris by TGV, with a walkable historic center and strong quality of life — though you'll need French for bureaucracy and deeper social connections.
Morning baguettes from the corner boulangerie, two-hour lunches with wine that no one apologizes for, and the slow realization that the French were right about everything involving food.

Next steps for moving to France
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
