What American expats need to know about France
Visa
Talent Passport (Passeport Talent) — multiple categories for skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and researchers. Qualified employee route requires min €39,582/yr salary. Valid up to 4 years, family included. Visitor Visa (Visa Long Séjour) suits retirees with passive income — no work allowed, must prove €1,600+/mo resources.
Cost of Living
Excluding rent, a single person needs ~$900 USD/mo; a family of four ~$3,200 USD/mo. Rent (1-bed, city center): Paris ~$1,550, Lyon ~$900, Bordeaux ~$850, Toulouse ~$800. Groceries run €7-11/day per person. Overall Paris is comparable to NYC; elsewhere 30-40% below US major cities.
Key Fact
France has famously complex bureaucracy (the préfecture experience is legendary) but offers world-class universal healthcare, 5 weeks mandatory vacation, and excellent public infrastructure once you are in the system.
Life in France
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.
