Hi everyone,
Two years after the start of the pandemic, it is time to take stock of the evolution of the cost of living in France or more specifically, in the region where you live. The idea is to help people get ready for their expatriation to France to plan their day-to-day budget for some key expenses.
If you are a tenant, what is your monthly rent? Please give details of the type of property you are in.
How much are your monthly charges (water, electricity, common area maintenance charges, etc.) and additional expenses (mobile phone and/or internet box subscriptions)?
How much do you spend on commuting (by public transport or using your car) each month?
How much does your grocery shopping cost in France?
How much do you spend on health care (health insurance, consultations, etc.)?
How much are your children's school fees, depending on the type of school they attend?
What about your budget for leisure activities?
Do not hesitate to indicate other everyday costs if they could be useful to others.
Thank you for your contribution

Cost of living in France in 2022
Everything more expensive and now triple lock been cut
@Cheryl We just returned to the US after 5 weeks in various parts of France. I found generally prices for groceries and dining and entertainment and lodging and car-rental to be slightly less than in the US; wine and bread, much cheaper; gasoline, double the US price. As we are considering longer-term stay, we would like to hear more about apartment rental costs in non-Paris cities.
