💡 Our honest opinion: if you’re eligible, it’s always worth applying for French citizenship 🇫🇷✨
Yes, renewing your 10-year residency card can give you stability in France
⚠️ BUT… laws and requirements can change 📜
Language levels 🗣️, civic tests 📝, admin rules 📂 — renewals can become more complicated over time
🇫🇷 With French citizenship, that’s it. 🎉
✅ No more renewals
✅ No more exams
✅ Your right to live in France is secured for life 🔒
⏳ Is the process long and paperwork-heavy? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely.
🤍 And you don’t have to do it alone. That’s exactly what we’re here for.

🌍 Why do so many expats move to Brussels?
Brussels is vibrant, green, and full of opportunity. It’s a truly international city, home to EU institutions, global companies, NGOs, and thousands of people from all over the world. Parks, forests, and quiet corners make it easy to recharge, while housing is more affordable than in many other European capitals. Cafés, culture, and a strong social system make it an appealing place to live, work, and grow.
This all sounds promising — and you might be wondering why life in Brussels isn’t exactly what you were dreaming of.
The reality? Relocating isn’t always that simple. A better job, a higher salary, a nice house, access to good education, or great social benefits… those things don’t automatically make you feel at home.
What truly helps you thrive abroad:
🌱 A supportive community
💫 A lifestyle aligned with your values
🎨 Hobbies and activities that bring you joy
🧘 Time to connect with yourself
🤝 Support to navigate change
As an expat coach, I help internationals like you navigate these transitions — so that life abroad feels fulfilling, not just functional.

ChatGPT, where should I move? 🇫🇷✨ I actually let ChatGPT choose the town… And it led me somewhere magical. I knew I wanted to be in France- but the exact spot? I left that up to a little AI intuition (and a lot of trust that it would all end up ok).
I’m three weeks into my move to small town Provence. This journey was born from, well, exhaustion and the belief that a different kind of life was possible. Different from the past 20 years spent hunched over a computer 8-10 hours/day.
I’m choosing awe and possibility over fear of the unknown, and writing a whole new chapter.
Would you ever let fate - or AI - choose your next chapter? 👀👇
🎙️ @french__keys continues.
In this excerpt, we talk about a key topic for international buyers : leveraging French mortgages to purchase property in France while keeping your capital invested abroad.
There’s a common belief that you need to buy cash in France if you live outside the country.
That’s not true.
It is absolutely possible to obtain a French mortgage as a non-resident, and in many cases, this strategy allows you to benefit from lower French interest rates while keeping your money working for you in the US.
It’s a powerful financial lever that many international buyers don’t even realize exists.
If you’re living abroad and considering purchasing in France, this episode will give you clarity.

Sunday in the city I’ve learned to call my own.
#expatsinfrance
#nantesmaville

This kind of thing just makes my blood boil. I initially thought maybe it had to do with a very specific type of personal situation, with complex investment vehicles scattered around the globe, but I’ve now collected many more testimonials; sadly, this seems to be very common, especially in Paris. A quick and easy way to prey on the anxieties of foreigners trying their best to do everything by the book. Pretty gross tbh.
Other outrageous price tags I’ve heard of targeting expats include:
• €4-6k to prepare your entrepreneurship visa application - just, what? The dossier they’re asking for isn’t even that complicated. If your French is good enough you can do it yourself; I did it twice with no issues.
• €3k just to find you a rental in Paris - absolute insanity, you can get a place on Lodgis pretty easily for way, way less.
It’d be one thing if they were only doing this to people with f you money who just want their assistant to handle it in a turnkey package format. That’s different. But to charge regular clients outrageously for a 15-minute job? Quelle indignité quand même 🫥
To whomever this may concern: remember that there’s never any harm in seeking additional consults if the initial price tag seems too steep. Hope y’all stay safe & unscammed 🫶
ps - sorry I come off as manic, I had to speed myself up to 1.25x to fit it all in lol
