5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you Mr. Link, July 31, 2001
By Betsy (Paris, France) - See all my reviews
What a fantastic reference! I'm in Paris now and it was absolutely instrumental in finding a place to stay and just acclimating in general. I would recommend this book to anyone who is considering a long or short term stay in the country. Well done!

5.0 out of 5 stars Full of great practical information, November 13, 2001
By Lark Howard (Houston, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was pleased to find a book that addressed the practical concerns of Americans moving to France. My husband and I vacation in France each year and want to live there part of the year when we retire. This book was the first I've found that addresses issues like taxes, insurance, buying property and the relative cost of living. We have rented houses in the countryside, and I found that most of the observations and advice are right on with our experience. Although the author obviously loves France, the downside of moving there was presented as well as the many wonderful things about daily life. I would highly recommend this book to anyone considering spending an extended period in France.
