The Best Things About Living in France

1. Cheese
It's undoubtedly true, one of the best things about living in France is the bread, wine and cheese. Essential to every meal. If you didn't have a cheese course did you really eat?

2. Wine

Buy a cheap bottle from the supermarket and it will actually taste nice.

3. Bakeries

Cliché but true, the French really have mastered the art of baking. Baguettes and pastries will never be the same again. 

4. Lunch

You can probably see a theme emerging! Lunch breaks are a big deal in France, and not to be rushed. Expect an hour and a half to two hours to take a break from work, sit down and eat (sometimes even with a glass of wine).

5. Skiing

The French Alps have some of the best skiing in the world and there's no channel in the way to get you there.

6. Weather

Ok, so it's still not exactly beach weather in the winter months, but the south is still a whole lot warmer than the UK. As for the summer, the two countries can't quite compare.

7. Museums

Not only are there so many incredible museums to see, most places do an incredible student discount and it's often free entry for under 25s!

8. The Trains

The fastest way to travel all over France, plus they have very comfy seats. What's more, with a 'Carte Jeune' (the French young persons railcard) and you can get up 50% off your journeys.

Oooh curved seats

9. And let's not forget this catchy tune

10. Scenery

From the glorious architecture in Paris to the stunning coastine of the French Riviera, it's safe to say that it would be hard to get bored of these views.

11. The Markets
Full of incredible quality local and seasonal produce, some of these markets can go on for miles and sell everything from vegetables to onesies.

Christmas presents sorted.

12. Entertainment
French film and music just has that certain je ne sais quoi. Quirky, chic, artistic... you can't help but appreciate French culture.
