Paguro Expat City Guide - SOPHIA ANTIPOLIS

 Sophia Antipolis Politech

Welcome to France or, more correctly, metropolitan France, which excludes the colonies

(Départements et Territoires d'Outremer). French people often refer to Metropolitan France as the Hexagon because of the geometric shape of its territory.

Often regarded as one of the world's most civilized nations, France has for centuries exerted a powerful influence on expatriates all over the world (illustrious expatriates include Leonardo da Vinci, who worked till his last day in France and is buried there).

Whatever your tastes and inclinations, from discovering arts and architecture, to a degustation of vintage wines or more than 200 different kinds of cheese, you're likely to find your sejour an intoxicating and forever enriching experience.

Today, as ever, France remains an alluring and delightful country to live in... that is, if you turn a blind eye to the lengthy and painful red tape surrounding the settling in process and the so 'not-so-customer' oriented attitude of most places and shops!

That's why Paguro has key information any expatriate needs about how the system works and how to interface with it to make settling in and living in France a deserved enjoyable experience!
