Hello,

We invite you to share information regarding some of the apps that have helped to facilitate your move abroad in France. This will help expats-to-be who are making the move as well.

Which apps did you use while preparing your move to France?

What apps do you use the most for your everyday life in France: whether it's for transport, managing finances, general information, learning the language of your host country, leisure activities, etc.?

How does this technology help you in your everyday life as an expat?

Which apps would you recommend to expatriates in France and why?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Priscilla

Moovit.

Without any hesitation, the best all-round app for finding your way from any A to any B,
via public transport.

Also informs about local traffic flow and warns of potential delays.

[and it will order you an Uber, too]

Happy landings!

My working habits revolve around Excel spreadsheets and Google searches but there is one very useful app which is specific to France. That is www.mr-traduction.com . I have found them to be very accurate for expanding my technical vocabulary
