What do expats in France appreciate most about the local culture?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they appreciate the most about the local culture in France. They wrote...
"Expatriates in France appreciate the country's rich cultural heritage, including its art and architecture, as well as the strong sense of fashion and style. They also value the greater emphasis on family life and the appreciation of slower-paced living. Additionally, many expats have praised the country's excellent cuisine and the wide variety of regional specialties. The relaxed and convivial atmosphere of French leisure activities, such as picnics and outdoor cafes, is yet another highlight for expatriates," remarked another expat who made the move to France.
"Pace of life in the village, availability of high quality fresh food and wine, friendliness of the people and willingness to work with my language shortcomings, lack of rampant materialism compared to the US, secular nature of the society, ongoing traditions. I am in a winemaking village in the Languedoc," explained one expat living in Roquebrun, France.
