Can you work part-time while attending a language school?

I never imagined that a student visa could be used to justify simply learning French in France, and those prices are so low to the American eye! As I contemplate retirement in less than 10 years, this sounds like a wonderful and cost-effective way to both enjoy a country I love and actually buckle down and learn the language. Thanks, Suzi!

Absolutely! Good luck looking into your options! You may in fact have several! 😊☺️

My ancesters were all from France " Fille du Roi". I am French Canadian . The one side for me to move to France is, you have tor work about 25 years, to be able to receive retirement money from France. So this is a big one. Since they had cut in half the money that the elderly were receiving every month, another strike against to country. Than you have the immigrant.

Can you please clarify one minor detail: What is the income tax of a gross annual salary below 70k eur ?

[@firedupinfrance]

Well, I’m definitely not a tax expert and there are many variables that impact your income tax bill, but I saw a table that looked realistic to me here: taxsummaries.pwc.com/france/individual/taxes-on-personal-income (granted it’s a few years old…) Hope that helps 😊

0 TO 11294 is taxed at 0% then 11294 to 28797 is taxed at 11% and then 28797 to 82341 is taxed at 30% And you have a 10% "discount" meaning if you earn 70K you will be tax "only" on 63K if you have a family (wife or childs under 18) it can also decrease a lot what you have to pay for exemple if you make 70K and your wife 0 you will be tax as if you earn 35K and your wife 35K Yes i know very simple :)
