Homes in France under $200K
$200,000 in France works in secondary cities and attractive rural areas. Two-bed apartments in Limoges, Saint-Étienne, Clermont-Ferrand, and Nîmes, plus three-bed village houses in Dordogne, the Aude, or inland Brittany. Expect functional French middle-class finishes: small kitchens, tile bathrooms, shutters, and tiny elevators in any apartment building. Paris is nowhere — even a 20m² chambre de bonne in arrondissements 18-20 barely fits. The Talent Passport visa suits Americans with salaried French jobs, but most Americans at this tier are retirees on long-séjour visas heading south.
