"Make sure you familiarize yourself with health care providers in the city, such as pediatricians and local hospitals, to ensure that your baby receives quality care. Check with your employer to see if there are any additional benefits, such as maternity leave, available to you as an expat. Many expats also find it useful to join a local parenting or mother's group where you can get support from other expats. Be sure to learn about the maternity and childcare options that are available and their costs, as well as any tax breaks available for having a baby in France.
