How to Live in France

About the Book

This book has been written to help you understand the differences between the UK and France. After all, if you have children in the UK, the schools have insurance for such things as swimming lessons. As we found out, in France, you have to have your own insurance! We found other differences so I decided to write this book to help others in their new life in France. Of course the laws in France can change so some parts may be out of date, however I have made every effort to be up to date as possible.

About the Author

Ian Blythe, the author of this book, has lived in Australia, the UK, France, Ireland and now Austria. I left the UK to go to France with my family in 1991 for two years, but we liked it so much we stayed there for nearly 11 years. In my time in France I encountered many differences between the UK and France, so I started this book, with help from friends, to allow you to understand the French systems before you encounter them!
