What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Annecy may find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as not everyone speaks English and it is essential to learn French to fully integrate into the community. Additionally, they might struggle with the slower pace of life, as businesses often close for long lunch breaks and many shops are closed on Sundays. The French bureaucracy can also be overwhelming for expats, as it involves a lot of paperwork and can be time-consuming. Cultural differences, such as the importance of formality and etiquette in social interactions, may also be challenging for expats to adapt to. Finally, finding suitable accommodation can be difficult, as the housing market in Annecy is competitive and expensive," wrote a member who made the move to Annecy, France.
