I was putting it off, making a new layout, but then I stumbled across this one. I am going to change it little by little. I know one should do it all first then make it live, but I found that just made me procrastinate more. It is more of a news theme so it is more like a site than a traditional blog.

Yes, the requirements are quite different. When I was looking to move to France I found a lot of advice aimed at UK residents. It was good for how to get certain things done but to get a carte de séjour etc, it wasn’t too useful. You are lucky to be part of Europe. It simplifies things a little, although life in France can still be complicated.

Thanks for visiting.

I have written some advice posts for people moving to France but aimed at the UK population rather than the American population. There may be some overlap there but the legal side of residency will be much different because all we need to do is move here and after 6 months you are a French resident. It is a bit different for our American friends.

Thanks for the sites. I need to do some reasearch to complement my experience. I do want to provide some practical info and these sites look promising. It is a shame when an embassy website, an offical government agency website, is so outdated it cannot be trusted.

There are several blogs in which valuable information is given. The Bold Soul (http://www.theboldsoul.com/)
Americans in France (http://www.americansinfrance.net/
This French Life (http://www.thisfrenchlife.com/)
Transitions Abroad (http://www.transitionsabroad.com/publications/magazine/0001/moving_to_france.shtml)

Okay, most of these are NOT blogs, but they do contain valuable information. I hope it helps.
