opening a bank account

8 years ago
As I've mentioned previously, my wife and I plan to move to Nice within the next couple of years. We will be visiting the city this fall, to check out neighborhoods and, hopefully, to see some apartments.

In addition, we think we might want to open a bank account while we're there. My questions, then, are:

How do we go about doing it?

Can it be done, even though we still maintain our residence here in the states?

If so, what documents will we need?

Any suggestions regarding the amount of an initial deposit?

And what banks might be better candidates for our money?

I'm sure the answer are just under my nose on the net, but so far I haven't found them.

Thank you for any help you have.
