It’s impossible to know exactly what life will be like in another country no matter how much research you do ahead of time. Your experience in France will be uniquely yours and you’ll learn so much after you move abroad. Only after living abroad for a bit can you look back and reflect, so that’s what I’m doing here… Let’s get into a few examples of things I learned about life in France after I moved including some little things about French culture and some hard-hitting things too that might surprise you about living in France as an expat or immigrant.
