What do I need to know about living in Paris?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Paris, they said:

"Planning for a retirement in Paris requires a thorough investigation into the country's immigration laws and policies. Expats should research what documents are necessary for entry and residency, and also familiarize themselves with the taxation policies relevant to their retirement income. It is important to understand the French healthcare system and to have a plan for accessing healthcare services for expats. Also, it is essential to research housing options, since rent in Paris is typically significantly more expensive than many other cities. Lastly, before choosing to retire in Paris, expats should ensure that the lifestyle and culture of France will suit their needs and preferences," said one expat who made the move to Paris, France.
