The first time I was assigned to do field work in France, I did not thought I would be staying there for good. But after a couple of times being assigned there, I come to love the place and decided to settle there. Learning the language though was not my only difficulty, I have to learn about pret immobilier, assurance and even real estate law for investment or loi scellier. Good thing there are sites that provides more than enough information for newbies like me.
