Moving to Paris

If you're planning to move to Paris, I wish you good luck.  Better yet, visit my other blog, Posted in Paris, for lots of practical information for Anglophone expats, everything from where to find the eggs in the supermarket to how to operate a Parisian parking meter.

Another great resource is the moving to France tutorial by Jennifer Greco who writes the blog Chez Loulou.

If you want to know which arrondissement is the best place to live, I can't answer that. But this guide is worth a read.

I highly suggest you prepare yourself for the cultural differences between the French and the rest of the world by reading one of these books:

• French or Foe?  by Polly Platt 
• Sixty Million Frenchman Can't Be Wrong by Jean-Benoit Nadeau and Julie Barlow 
• Almost French by Sarah Turnbull
