Caveat,
By A Customer
This review is from: Live & Work in France (Live and Work Abroad Guides) (Paperback)
This guide would be useful to those who are contemplating a move FROM THE UK to France. There are innumerable and exclusive comparisons between the UK and French systems. Those moving from other European Union countries will also benefit. However, those contemplating a move from a non-EU country will find this book less relevant.The book provides a useful summary of public information about France, covering basic political and economic structures, residence and entry regulations, transportation, education, employment, and retirement.

Caveat True, but Great Book,
By Clamdiggers (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Live & Work in France (Live and Work Abroad Guides) (Paperback)
The caveat that the other reader mentioned is true--the book applies more to those moving from the UK than to Americans moving to France. However, I still find it an excellent source of knowledge, and a very worthwhile purchase, even for Americans. I found that it still contains enough solid information for those from other countries, and very detailed information too. Fine work, IMHO.
