Thinking about moving to France? Maybe you've been dreaming about it for years. Maybe you're already looking at houses, researching visas, and wondering whether you've completely lost your mind. Either way, you're going to have questions. Lots of them. In Get Frenched: A Practical Guide to Reinventing Your Life in France, Paul Blanchard shares what he learned when he and his partner left their lives in America and moved to France. Drawing on their experiences, he combines practical advice with personal stories about the challenges, surprises, and occasional absurdities of starting over in another country. From navigating French immigration and healthcare to finding a home, managing your finances, and adjusting to everyday life, the book covers the practical realities of making the move. Inside, you'll find:Updated immigration and residency information, including visa applications, renewals, and the latest requirements for living in France. Practical guidance on banking, healthcare, housing, transportation, and settling into your new life. Lessons learned from the mistakes, surprises, and unexpected challenges of making an international move. An honest look at the cultural differences and everyday realities of living in France. Updated for autumn 2026, Get Frenched is designed to help you understand what lies ahead, make informed decisions, and approach the experience with realistic expectations. But this isn't just a book about paperwork and practicalities. It's also about what happens when two people decide to turn their lives upside down and discover that even the simplest things can become surprisingly complicated in another country. And while the information is serious, I try not to take myself too seriously. Moving to France is hard enough. Your partner may already be driving you crazy. Or maybe you're doing a pretty good job of that yourself. I try to keep things light. The last thing you need is me beating you up, too.
