Living in Villeurbanne

Essentially an extension of Lyon sharing its metro system, but with rents 15-20% lower than Lyon proper. A youthful, diverse city of 150,000 with universities, street markets, and an authentic French food scene at everyday prices. Great public transit and walkability — a smart base for expats who want Lyon's culture without Lyon's price tag.

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.

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.

Next steps for moving to France

Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.

1

Understand the buying rules

Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.

2

Sort out your visa

Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.

3

Plan your finances

Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.

4

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.

5

Set up healthcare

Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.

6

Run the full checklist

Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
