Q. What is the cost of living like in France?

Category: Europe » France » Living in France

A. Answer:

Living in France is reasonable, but by no means cheap. Rent ranges from €500 to €600 per month. The cost of food and eating out in France is not bad, if you know where to go and don’t hang out in tourist hot spots! The cost of a meal with wine is around €20.
