    I highly reccommend you get this book if you are serious about moving to France. It is worth the $45. No one can tell you all you need to know.

    The Insider Guide to Living in France

    You can order it on line:

    Here are just a few topics covered in the book, but there are many more. It is very informative!

    1. MOVING TO FRANCE: WORKING, RESIDENCY AND BUSINESS
    A. GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES

    Notifying the Proper Authorities
    Notarizing a Signature
    B. WORKING RIGHTS, PAPERS AND RELEVANT ISSUES

    Obtaining Working Papers
    Working Papers: The Company’s or the Employer’s Responsibility?
    Student Working Rights: Changing Status from Student to Teacher
    II. HOUSING: OWNING, RENTING, BUYING AND SELLING
    A. RENTING

    III. FINANCES: BANKING, TAXES, GOVERNMENT AID, AND RETIREMENT

    IV. MARRIAGE AND/OR COHABITATION: UNION, DIVORCE, AND SEPARATION

    X. CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND RECREATION
    A. CONSUMER AFFAIRS

    Hope this helps!

    Kind regards, Wendy
