    Here are my thoughts on the CONs of living in France…

    • Bureaucracy! Its so, so, so frustrating
    • Staples – fuel, food and clothes are expensive
    • Transport, while good, is expensive
    • They always seem to be on strike!
    • If you don’t know French, then you can sometime struggle in more rural areas
    • High taxes

    FYI, I’ve been retired/living in southern France for 11 years. Best decision I ever made.
