Hello everyone! This is my first post and I'm sorry if I am repeating a question that may have already been answered, but I did attempt to look through older post.
Ok, I am looking to relocate to France next year and was wondering if having $10,000-15,000 saved up would be sufficient before starting work and generating income in France. To get an apartment, set up a bank account, get/pay bills, food, etc.
I have a French passport and will be able to transfer within in my company to their location in Paris so I should have a job lined when I do plan to go.
Merci!

For a rental apartment, expect to pay 1 month security deposit, one month rent in advance and about one month agency fee.
Other than that, all you need is enough money to eat/pay small bills until the first paycheck.
Good Luck!
