Where should I setup a bank account in Aix-en-Provence?
We asked expats in Aix-en-Provence what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...
"Expats considering retirement in Aix-en-Provence, France, should be aware that the cost of living can be higher than in other parts of France, particularly for housing. It's important to have a good understanding of the French healthcare system, which is considered one of the best in the world, but may require additional private insurance for full coverage. A basic understanding of the French language is highly beneficial, as not everyone speaks English, especially among the older population. The city is known for its safety, but like any urban area, it's wise to take standard precautions against petty crime. Aix-en-Provence has a Mediterranean climate with mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers, which can be a significant change for those used to cooler climates. The city is known for its vibrant cultural scene, with numerous festivals, museums, and art galleries, so it's a great place for those interested in arts and culture. Public transportation is reliable and extensive, but having a car can be useful for exploring the surrounding countryside. French bureaucracy can be complex and time-consuming, so be prepared for potentially lengthy processes when dealing with administrative tasks. Finally, it's important to understand French taxes, which can be quite high compared to other countries, and may affect your retirement income. It's recommended to seek advice from a financial advisor familiar with both your home country's and France's tax systems," wrote a member who made the move to Aix-en-Provence , France.
