What do expats find most challenging?

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Biarritz. They wrote...

"Expats in Biarritz often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as not everyone speaks English and a basic understanding of French is necessary for day-to-day interactions. The French emphasis on formality and etiquette can also be difficult for expats to navigate, particularly in social and professional settings. Additionally, the slower pace of life, which is typical in many parts of France, can be a significant adjustment for those accustomed to a more fast-paced lifestyle. The French bureaucracy can also be a challenge, as it often involves a lot of paperwork and can be quite time-consuming. Lastly, the high cost of living in Biarritz can be a challenge for some expats, particularly those on a tight budget," wrote a member who made the move to Biarritz, France.
