However, it is the most expensive city in France. The cost of renting a three-bedroom apartment may be as high as 2500 euros.

This is a very popular place for British expatriates-France15-and 20% of British people live in this city.

It is also more affordable than Paris. A single room costs about 600 to 650 euros a month.

4. Dordogne R.

This French department is located in the suburb of Bordeaux in southwest France, full of villages and picturesque villages. Therefore, this is the best choice for foreigners who want to escape from the bustling city life.

Accommodation costs vary, although living in Dordogne is generally cheaper than living in any big city.

Article 8 Forms of residence of French immigrants

The first type: residence permit for "excellent talents"

It is characterized by changing once every three years and can work in France (employees or businessmen).

The second type: residence permit for "foreign employees"

Like the first residence permit, it is renewed every three years, and the expatriate staff can hold this multi-year residence permit through the first secondment or assignment within the enterprise.

Both of the above residences have the advantage of accompanying family members (spouses and children). Family members hold a "family" residence permit and can automatically obtain the right to work without applying for a work permit.

But public kindergartens are very popular, and private kindergartens charge fees. In order to help pay the living expenses in France, the government gives allowances to parents and children. Two children can get 120 euros every month. The allowance for three children is increased to 275 euros, and each additional child is increased by 155 euros.

In French state universities, the tuition price is very reasonable, especially compared with the tuition you paid in the United States or Britain.
