What do I need to know before retiring in Strasbourg?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Strasbourg, they said...
"Before retiring in Strasbourg, expats should be aware that it is the capital of both Alsace and the Grand Est region of France. The city is bilingual with both French and German being official languages. The city has extensive public transportation, but residents need to get a Carte de Sejour (residence permit) if they wish to benefit from reduced fares. Health care is of a high standard in Strasbourg and is partially covered by the state via social security deductions. Expats will enjoy a variety of traditional food and culture in Strasbourg, but should be aware that the cost of living is significantly higher than the French national average," said a member in Strasbourg, France, France.

"I would be brutally honest and say it's not a place for a young person and is more suited to someone with a family...but if you're a student or stagiere, then you're sorted," remarked another expat who made the move to Strasbourg, France.
