Hello everyone,

Is there anything you wish you had known before moving to France? For example, transportation, internet speeds, types of housing, aspects of the culture or social life.

In your opinion, what's the most important thing to know about France?

When would you recommend someone should begin planning their move to France?

What were the most helpful ways you found to get organised? For example, did you use a checklist, were there any particularly useful websites or apps?

What advice would you give to future expats preparing to move to France?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Priscilla

My advice is to read as much about the cultural differences as possible, and I can recommend a list of the best books. Don't underestimate the impact of the cultural difference.

Learn as much as you can before moving to France, from experts and expats who have already been through the process.
