What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Arcachon. They wrote...
"Expats in Arcachon, 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. Additionally, some expats may struggle with the slower pace of life in Arcachon, as it is a small town and things tend to move at a more leisurely pace. The cultural emphasis on socializing and spending time with friends and family can also be difficult for those who are used to a more individualistic culture. Lastly, the French dining etiquette and the importance of food in the local culture can be a challenge for those not used to it," said a member in Arcachon, France.
