Guys, it is not that expensive if you compare the cost of living in France in relation to the amount of money you make a month in the US. But if you work in France, you will (usually) get a lower pay for the same job. (Im talking about qualified positions). So it won’t sound as cheap once you see your (monthly) pay check in Euros :p
Thank you! This is what I needed to know - current and realistic. I'm older, so less shopping and subscriptions, and more space. :) But this roughly fits what I've figured out. I'll take a look at your other videos. Nice work!
I have had an apartment in Nice for 20 years absolutely love it we were there for ten days recently already plan two long trips next year. We also have an apartment in Paris which we visit. I live in Liverpool in the U.K. but they are our only destinations now we love them.
I just loved your content !! Some questions: Are there many people who live in Nice and work in Monaco? I've been considering on moving to Nice. I loved the city when I visited ! Is it possible to live there with a budget of apron 1.000 Euros/month ? I loved the city ! And, how about renting a Bedroom ? I don't want to bother you, but, how much would be the Average. Thankssss !
It’s good to know what you are paying for a new, furnished studio apartment. I wish you would have given more details about other studio apartments. I have no idea what they would rent for.
one reccomendition for your videos get a external mic, above you or a small to attach camera or to your clothes, sound is more realistic to you. but welcometo cote d azur, lived there 4 years and want ack :D
Thanks for watching! Finding work here in France can be a bit of a struggle, even for French people. But being able to speak English is definitely a huge benefit in job hunting here!
@@hayfalahraoui8361 I just started a Masters program here so i’ll be here for at least the next two years! After that it’ll depend on where I find work 🙂
Your video is great I love it, good information. But there's something I really need to know. "How do you cope with France language, I wanna know if there's more English speakers there?
Thanks Emmanuel! 😊 There are some English speakers in Nice, it’s a college town with lots of International students so most of the younger generation speaks English. Besides that, I was able to get by with just basic conversational level French and never had any issues! Hope that helps 🙂
Most Canadian major cities (Toronto/Vancouver) are victims of a real estate bubble. Rents are just crazy. I moved from Paris (same problem) to Montreal back in 2012. Montreal used to be the only rent affordable big city in Canada. But even Montreal is getting very expensive now. Still not as bad as Van or Toronto but getting there
@@WhereTianaTravels Like no joke i've been thinking about moving to France and getting dual citizenship for so long. I haven't been back since 2014 and I miss it so much but I was in Bordeaux (and Paris for like a weekend) which was very nice but I also want to visit Nice and Toulouse.
@@hayfalahraoui8361 I am certified to teach and I teach online so I don’t technically teach “in France”. I don’t legally have the right to teach in a school in France with my current visa but since the company I work for is online only it’s different
@@laprofekaren each place is different, it depends on the landlord if they want to rent to tourists or not. I'm not living here anymore and it's already been rented out by someone else haha but check the FB page, there's tons of places there and not many people are moving around this time of year so you'll find something easily with less competiton!
it depends on the type of visa you're on! If you're on a student visa or a freelance entrepreneur visa than you have the right to work in France, but unfortunately on a tourist visa you're not legally allowed to work here. But it is common to find odd jobs here that'll pay you under the table in cash
I found it to be pretty safe! I feel more safe there than I do in Paris. Of course I always stayed vigilant and avoided walking places alone at night, but there were a few times I had to walk 25 - 30 minutes back home at night and never had any issues. I’ll be posting a more in-depth video on Friday explaining the safety score, tips for staying safe, best/worst neighborhoods, etc! 😊
I should clarify, I don’t pay a monthly fee for healthcare, but i do pay a small co-pay ($20-40) every time I visit the doctor’s which is partially reimbursed to me later. Since I’m on a visa that doesn’t allow me to work in France, i’m not obligated to pay taxes here, so that’s not a part of my monthly expenses at the moment, but as a long-stay “tourist” in France I am still eligible to benefit from their healthcare system. I hope that clarified things!
@@WhereTianaTravels I didn’t know that tourists could benefit from the advantages of our health system. So in the USA you would pay a fortune for health care but in France you take advantage of benefits gained by the French paying part o their salary. I can’t believe that you have health care but pay no taxes. What’s your opinion on this?
@@dpnice7721 well, considering I don’t work/make less than the eligible threshold, i’m not taxed. This is the same in every country. Once I begin working here in France, I will pay part of my salary to taxes just like everyone else 🙂
@@dpnice7721 i agree with you , I am amazed that we pay for the Sécu plus a Mutuelle ,and yet these people can come here and get health care for free !!!! it’s no wonder that France has problems . There is no way that we would get health care for free in the USA , Merci la France .
I found it to be relatively safe actually, i feel more safe there than i did in paris at times! I’m planning to make a more in depth video about that soon xx
@@WhereTianaTravelswould love your vibe. Would love to meet you for a glass of wine on my way back from Nice!! Have a lot of questions. Black hair products?? 😊I'm going to check out Lyon and Nice for a couple of weeks on my way to Asia. How do I contact you?

It’s good to know what you are paying for a new, furnished studio apartment. I wish you would have given more details about other studio apartments. I have no idea what they would rent for.
Depends what size you need and what area but generally between €700-850 for a studio or 900+ for a one bedroom
I love the fact that she kept it real and honest❤️but wowww $1600 yea I’m good lol
Hi what phone company charges only 25 euros a Month for calls to the States.

Very informative, thanks you so much.
I pay this total amount per month here in memphis but it would be 1300 if it wasn't for my $300 per month car note.
thats actually not bad for living in the US!
Thanks so helpful. Thinking of running away from my life in Orlando FL. 🤣 It's actually cheaper to live in Nice! 😭😭
10/10 recommend! Plus no hurricanes or gators in Nice 🤣
How was it moving there solo. I am also a black girl, but with almost no french. Is it easy to makw friends etc?
I found it was pretty easy to make friends yes! There’s tons of expats and students here. FB groups will be your best friend in this case
$1600 is rent for one month in Canada lol! That is great!

Much much cheaper then States
You could never live on that money in the States
Good for you
👍👍👍
Why do Americans like to call foreigners, immigrants and Americans that immigrate to other countries call themselves expat?
LMAOAOA great question 😭😭
I was just thinking the same. Snobbery? She is an immigrant.
this question is so tired lmaooo
@@WhereTianaTravels the question will stop when the snobbery stops.
@@Zarih67 you’re projecting. Sorry you feel that way 🫶🏽
Did you say your rent is high? It's unbelievably low, especially because it includes utilities.
It’s high for the size of my apartment in this area, yes. Not high overall
Just discovered your nice channel, and just subscribed.
Thanks so much! Glad to have you here 😎
How do you get a job abroad?
sis i pay $1500 for a 1 bedroom in ATL. where do I sign? let's go lmao

600 Euros for rent is great. How far is your apartment from downtown Nice?
It's a steal! It was about a 20min walk to the center of Nice 🙂
Where did you find this studio for rent?
What’s your profession if you don’t mind me asking?
Not at all! I teach English online currently :)
@@WhereTianaTravels okay cool! I’m gonna be a Tapif for the first time this fall & I’m so excited to explore 😊

Can you find a part time job in France if you wanted to being and American Expat?.
it depends on the type of visa you're on!

But it is common to find odd jobs here that'll pay you under the table in cash
@@WhereTianaTravels I would come to France 🇫🇷 with a retirement visa, would that offer me the chance to work legally part-time?.

Ugh i wish i did!! That's awesome that your school gives you that!
Which institution are you currently enrolled to
Very ınformative thank you
Is Nice safe for single women? Years ago it wasnt a great area.

@@WhereTianaTravels that's interesting..thank you for the info. I just found your sight and am looking forward to your posts. Cheers 🥂
How come you don't pay for health care? Is it because you are taxed in France? Taxes are part of your monthly costs which you didn't mention.
I should clarify, I don’t pay a monthly fee for healthcare, but i do pay a small co-pay ($20-40) every time I visit the doctor’s which is partially reimbursed to me later.
