Bienvenue, and Welcome to France!

We’re thrilled to have you here at the ultimate guide for those daring enough to come to this country and navigate the world of French rules, mores, and manners.

We’re here to shed light on some of the more enigmatic or obtuse aspects of this country, from deciphering the many rules of home ownership (prepare for documentation) to understanding the art of always being wrong when dealing with the government (prepare for more documentation). We’ll do our best to equip you with enough knowledge to shrug off the merde and move on.

So, whether you’re planning to call France home or just passing through, grab a croissant, read this guide, and brace yourself for the many moments that will make you understand why some things in life are just futile… but at least you have your croissant.
