Moving to France is no easy decision. Despite the extensive effort involved, it is worth it. Here are top reasons to move to France.
1. French food is fabulous:
If you love food, you will love. That’s all there is to it. It’s the simple things like visiting the local produce market for fresh finds or the nearby bakery for divine fresh-baked baguetts. It’s the incredible cuisine at restaurants, from Michelin-starred chefs to humble but impressive family owned cafes. France takes food seriously and it shows.
2. It’s easy to be Healthy:
Sure people smoke and it’s easy to eat fattening foods, but just compare the obesity rate of people in France to people in the U.S. In France it is easy and in fact encouraged to be active. Most French cities and even villages are very pedestrian friendly and there are tons of outdoor activities. It’s also a simple lifestyle and attitude thing in France. It is nothing to see a French person preferring to climb a couple of stairs rather to wait for an elevator. The healthcare system in France is also cheap and high quality and even prescription drugs cost a fraction of the price compared to the US.
3. You get to experience the French culture:
The French culture, as bashed as it can be from time to time, is unique and fascinating. It’s always a good experience to live in a new culture if for no other reason than to develop and grow as a person. The French place importance on many things that actually are important such as: taking time to enjoy life, spending time with the family, long lunches and even longer dinners. Even if you relocate for just a few months to France, you will always be affected by the slower pace of the French lifestyle.
4. Great location for travel junkies:
If you love to travel, France is the perfect place to live in. You have such a diversity of places to visit within France, from rural mountain villages to big cities and beaches. France also borders several other great European countries such as the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Germany, the UK, all within reach.
5. Buy great wine for cheap:
If you are a wine aficionado, France is an ideal place to live. Buy table wines that would cost $10 or more for pocket change at your local market, and buy fine wines for a fraction of the price you would pay for a French import. Better yet, find regional wines such as blanquette, the real first sparkling wine, or the unique wine and Armagnac blend found in floc.
