Retiring To France

The most comprehensive guide to retiring and moving to France. This book will guide you through the entire process, and help you through the "Catch-22" problems with detailed checklists and exhaustive information: from preparing your home, selling it, getting your long-stay visa and residency permit, shipping options, getting a car in France, finding an agent, buying your new home, going to closing, furnishing it, and settling in France in comfort and ease. REVIEWS: "An impressive book, the 'bible' for moving to France; authoritative, detailed, clear and well laid-out. Michael Burk's Retire in France is a gold mine of invaluable information. Absolutely superb." - Nick Snelling, author of How to Buy Spanish Property and Move to Spain ... Safely "This book is a must-have if you want to retire in France, but I would recommend it also to those who want to live there, even for a short period of time. There is thorough research behind it. This guide gives you a great perspective over the linguistic, and administrative subtleties you wouldn't know otherwise if you come from an English-speaking world. From French 'false friends' terms and other confusing notions, this book provides assistance for the most challenging parts of your life in France: buying a property, settling into it, and enjoying your new French life. Highly recommended!" - Nadia Plamadeala, author of Understanding Italy: A practical and funny guide for expats. "The beauty of Retire in France by the numbers is that it is both well researched and reassuring as it untangles French bureaucracy. It takes you by the hand and leads you through the process of settling in France, one step at a time." - Margaret Oertig, The Expert Guide to Your Life in Switzerland.
