What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in La Rochelle often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as not everyone speaks English and the local dialect can be difficult to understand. The French bureaucracy can also be a challenge, as it often requires a lot of paperwork and can be quite slow. The cultural emphasis on social etiquette and formality can also be difficult for expats to navigate, especially in professional settings. Additionally, some expats may struggle with the slower pace of life in La Rochelle, as it is a smaller city with less hustle and bustle than larger cities. The French dining culture, which often involves long, leisurely meals, can also be a challenge for those used to quicker, more casual dining experiences. Lastly, some expats may find it difficult to integrate into the local community, as the French can be reserved and private, especially towards outsiders," said a member in La Rochelle, France.
