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

"Do not try to find the same thing in Atlanta that you had in France. They don't share the french taste for the old things, and you must pick an house that will be easy to resell if you have to move back. Rely on a professional to help you to find a house. I am one of them, I have been living in Atlanta for 6 years, I have a perfect knowledge of the city. You can contact me at it will be my pleasure to help you, with housing, and advice about daycare system, school system. Good luck," remarked another expat in Atlanta.

"Internet is fabulous and there are excellent sites available now, expecially expat sites. Expats are usually in the know or they know someone who is???," explained one expat living in Atlanta.
