This book would be great for a British person. But if you are American and looking to move to France this could confuse you ever more. When it talks about schools, for instance, it compares French to British school systems. Everything is compared to the way it is in the UK so if your not familiar with the way things are in Britian then this book will leave you none the wiser. Obviously writen by a brit for brits. Hardly any useful info for no EU residents. Very disapointed that I wasted my money and time.

In This book "Living and Working in France", David Hampshire gave very helpful information and guidance regarding the various rules, regulations and the complex bureaucracy in France. I will be retiring in south France soon, and I needed all the guidance I could get regarding bringing an automobile and other household items, Visa and residency requirements, Taxation, Health care, etc. I've found this book to be very helpful and contain very valuable info and thorough answers to all the questions I have so far; it's going to be my reference for a long time to come. Well worth the price

This is a great book packed with helpful information. If you are very familiar with France, however, you could probably skip over a few of the chapters. Otherwise, this book is a useful reference containing e-mails, addresses, websites and helpful numbers throughout. If you are seriously thinking of moving to France, I recommend this book. It will give you a good idea of what lies ahead!

This book gives us a good insight into living in France. Although we have often worked in France, we thought it might be interesting to have a fresh insight to living there. This helped us very much but we are still undecided at the moment and it really depends on the currency exchange i.e. Dollar versus Euro rate.

Great introduction to lots of different aspect of the life in France. The only downside of covering so many different subjects is that it doesn't go into too much details. It is still a condensed version of the minimum you need to know before you leave the airplane.
