Where should I setup a bank account in Le Francois?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Le Francois what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...

"Expats considering retirement in Le Francois should be aware that the official language is French, so it would be beneficial to have a basic understanding of the language. The cost of living can be high, especially for imported goods, due to its remote location. Healthcare in Martinique is of a high standard, but it's advisable to have comprehensive health insurance. The climate is tropical, with a rainy and a dry season, and it is susceptible to hurricanes. The local culture is a blend of French and Creole influences, with a laid-back lifestyle. It's important to note that while Martinique is part of France and the EU, it's not part of the Schengen Area, so different visa rules may apply. Property prices can vary greatly, with coastal properties being more expensive. The island has a good infrastructure, with reliable utilities and internet, and public transportation is available, but having a car can be more convenient. Finally, while crime rates are relatively low, it's still important to take standard safety precautions. It's also worth noting that Martinique's economy is heavily dependent on France and it has a high unemployment rate, which doesn't affect retirees directly but can influence the overall atmosphere and local attitudes," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Le Francois, Martinique.
