Top 5 reasons why you should drop everything and move to France
France is such a beautiful country, Paris is the romantic capital of the world, they gave us champagne, beautiful wines and more cheeses than days in a year. France also boasts a vast multitude of different landscapes, from bustling cities, to mountains and beaches. Here are deVere Group’s top 5 reasons why you should move to France.
1 French food is simply divine - The French love their food, they have brought many mouth-watering dishes into the world and we owe it to them to try every last one. From croissants at breakfast to snails at dinner, France really has it all. They have a regulatory body called the AOC which impose strict rules and regulations on the production of food so you know you’re always eating the best quality of food.
2 Work to live not live to work - France has a 35 hour working week! This means that on those warm summer evenings you can spend more time relaxing at the beach with your friends and family, not needing to take an hour off work. Anything over this 35 hour is counted as overtime and is payed at double rate. French people believe in traditional values and that means being able to have dinner with your friends and family as well as being there for your children. You will find the pace of life slower in France than in the UK. The French government are also very generous with their welfare system; some families receive up to 240 euros each month so they don’t fall behind with the bills.
3 There are endless activities to do and places to see in your spare time - France boasts a multitude of different terrains and climates. You can ski in the French Alps or snorkel in the crystal clear waters of the French Riviera. With more castles and history than you can possibly shake a stick at, you will never be stuck for things to do on your days off or places to take the kids on the weekend. Immerse yourself in French history and culture.
4 Live a happier and healthier lifestyle - The combination of sun and free time in France lead to a happier life. You can soak up the rays whilst the rest of Europe are working. Walking and cycling are often preferred to driving, French pace of life is rather relaxed and slow. Just be careful not to eat too many of the French pastries as they can be quite unhealthy, however they are obscenely moreish, so it’s hard to resist.
5 Family Comes first - France is a great place to raise children because of the amount of time you get to spend with your kids thanks to the shorter working days and the huge 30 public holidays each year. Schools in France also offer some of the best and cheapest education in the world. They do push the children harder but you know your children will come out thankful for the grades they achieved, plus it won’t put too much of a dent in your pocket, a standard year of university can cost as little as 200 Euros!!
