Customer Reviews

This book is helpful

Having spent seven weeks in France last year, we are now planning a move there. This little book answered many of the basic questions we have regarding such issues as health care, health insurance, automobile ownership and registration, etc. Because we have been there recently, I recognize that many areas addressed by the author are accurately covered, so I'll be happy to accept her advice about areas with which I have no experience. I enjoyed the upbeat tone of this book. Her attitude makes me all the more anxious to make the move.

Useful for vacations, too

This is a really great book -- I wish I'd read it before the first time I went to France as an adult, nearly 5 years ago. Two more trips later, and I can vouch for the accuracy of what's presented in this book.The writing is straight-forward and the information is well arranged. I also really like the additional comments from other Americans living in France.This book is useful for anyone planning on spending more than just a few days in France, not just for those planning on living there. The parts about driving and going to the grocery store hit home with me, and now I know why doing laundry there takes *so* long.

Everything Rosanne Knorr says is true!

And I know, because I'm a grown-up living in France! Rosanne Knorr tells it like it really is, so if you're thinking of ditching it all for the rich cultural life France has to offer, you will want to read every word. It's a perfect overview of what you can expect, leaving the details for you to experience yourself.
