If you are considering a move from the US to Europe then France is often pretty high on the list of possible destinations.  France has it all:  a relaxed pace of life, a warm climate, wonderful scenery and, of course, fantastic food and wine.  When people realise that property tends to be at least 50% cheaper than in the US then it prompts the question, what's the catch?  Well, quite simply, there isn't one.

La Résidence Alpine specialises in areas of the french Alps that are leading the way in creating a buzz in the mountains year round. We focus on the towns and villages where there is not only great skiing in the winter, but also a drive to attract the increasing numbers of summer visitors.

If you’re travelling from the UK then the majority of people will travel with their car, either by ferry or the Eurotunnel.  

We’ve summarised the main routes as well as some useful tips to get cheaper tickets. 

France offers some of the best healthcare in the world but making sure you can access it is important. We’ve split this article into two sections:
 
Short term (for visitors)
Long term (for residents) 
 
Whether you’re popping across to France for a few days and need some spending money, or if you’re planning to buy or sell a property in France then efficient foreign currency exchange is a worthwhile consideration.
