Hello

the majority of people earn the minimum wage, that is to say around €1,200 net per month

and finding a job not too far away so that they can go there by bike is very good, especially on the way back it clears your head of 

to be able to receive the CAF for accommodation but if you are young to reduce accommodation costs it is better to be in shared accommodation

take SFR red as a telephone and internet subscription Good Service not too expensive

the problem is the cost of energy and electricity  the food which has increased a lot but the living environment is very interesting France one of the most beautiful countries in the world and among others on the Côte d'Azur for example you can have the sea so the beach and the mountains with skiing just a stone's throw away  side even on the side of Perpignan and Provence is magnificent
