The Practical Guide to Moving to France — Before, During, and After the Move
Most guides focus on lifestyle.
But you already know the lifestyle you want.
This book shows you how to get ready for it and how to actually do it.
The mental shift before you leave.
The strain of the move itself.
And the quiet, disorienting months after you arrive, when the fantasy fades and real life begins.
Get Frenched prepares you for all of it.
The paperwork. The systems. The culture.
And the internal adjustments no one talks about.
"If you are moving to France, this is a must read. It is packed with practical information about how to prepare for the move and thrive in France. Once you start reading, it is hard to put down. Paul has written a masterpiece on how to move, survive and thrive in France!"
Angela F. Sims Evans
“Moving to another country is never simply about logistics. It is about identity, belonging, and learning to live life through a different lens. Get Frenched captures this truth beautifully, blending practical advice with vivid personal storytelling.
The author does not romanticize France into a postcard fantasy, nor does he dwell on frustrations. He paints a balanced picture of what it means to uproot your life and plant it in French soil.
In short, Get Frenched is more than a relocation manual. It is a companion for anyone curious about living authentically in another culture.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It is the best “move to another country” book that I’ve read, and I’ve read quite a few researching for my next move.”
