Go deeper into your decision
After completing the Decision Map, some people want to go further.
Decision Abroad is designed to help you understand how living in France actually works and how it connects to your situation.
There are two ways to explore this in more depth.
Both build on the answers you provided in the Decision Map.
Option A
Decision Snapshot
Understand how life in France works
A clear, structured explanation of how the practical systems of living in France actually work.
This experience helps you see how the key parts of everyday life fit together and how your situation fits within them.
The Snapshot covers:
• residency pathways
• healthcare participation
• taxation and social contributions
• administrative systems
• financial sustainability
• everyday realities of life in France
You receive a clear explanation of how these systems work and how your situation relates to them. Your Decision Snapshot can also be downloaded as a PDF for future reference.

Option B
Guided Decision Path
Work through whether the move makes sense for you
A deeper, structured experience designed to help you think through the decision more fully.
It explores both the practical realities and the personal factors involved, and how they come together in your situation.
You will work through six decision areas:
• legal and residency reality
• income and financial viability
• timing and life constraints
• healthcare, taxes, and administration
• personal priorities and tradeoffs
• overall decision readiness
At the end, you receive a Decision Brief that brings together how the move currently fits your situation.

Option C
Live Session
Work through whether the move makes sense for you, one on one
A focused, one-on-one conversation designed to help you determine whether moving to France realistically fits your life, finances, and priorities.
In this 60-minute session you will:
- Look at how your situation fits into key French systems such as residency, healthcare, taxation, and financial sustainability
- Identify where the move may work well and where friction or constraints are likely to appear
- Discuss realistic paths available to you and what they may involve
- Clarify the major questions, assumptions, and tradeoffs shaping your decision
After the session you will receive a short written recap highlighting the key themes and considerations discussed.
This is not a relocation service or step-by-step planning session and does not include legal or tax advice. It is designed to help you evaluate whether the move makes sense before committing further time, money, or energy to the process.

Option D
Seriously Considering France
Work through the decision over six weeks with a small group
A structured group program for people who are seriously considering a move to France and want to explore the decision in depth alongside others asking the same questions.
Over six weeks the group covers the practical, financial, legal, and personal dimensions of the move, with enough space to work through what it would actually mean for your specific situation.
You will leave with a personalized Decision Brief, 90-day access to all session recordings, and a curated referral list of vetted immigration lawyers, tax advisors, and relocation specialists for whatever comes next. You also join a private community of people who went through this together.
This is not a relocation service and does not include legal or tax advice. It is designed to help you determine whether the move makes sense for your life before committing further.

If you’re unsure
If you’re unsure which option is right for you
A simple guideline helps:
- If you mainly want to understand how living in France works and whether the move seems realistic, Option A is usually enough.
- If the decision feels bigger or more complex, Option B gives you more time and structure to work through it.
- If you want to talk through your specific situation directly, Option C is a focused one-on-one conversation designed for that.
- If you want to go deeper over six weeks alongside others asking the same questions, Option D gives you that structure and community.
All four options are designed to help you approach the decision with clearer expectations. Not ready to start? Get occasional emails on what Americans get wrong before moving to France.
