I fulfilled my lifelong dream of moving to Paris. It's not always the fairytale I imagined.
- A U.S. couple moved to Paris in 2023, adapting to a new city and lifestyle.
- Housing in Paris is expensive and competitive for non-EU buyers.
- The couple pays about $1,770 for a one-bedroom in Montmartre, reflecting Paris’s high cost.
- Paris is described as a walkable, transit-friendly, big international city.
- Work and personal life in France are often more segregated than in the U.S.
- Small talk is less common in French daily interactions according to the account.
- Homesickness remains a theme, with misses for family, food, and familiar chatter.
- The couple envisions naturalization after long residence and tax payments.
- Remote work offers flexibility, reducing commute needs in Paris.
- The narrative is presented as an as-told-to account offering personal insight.
