Dream of moving to France but unsure where to begin? Learn how to navigate visas, life abroad, and relocation with expert guidance.
About this Event

Many people dream of living in France for a year—or even relocating permanently—but feel overwhelmed by the complexity of visas, bureaucracy, and practical logistics.

During this talk, Allison Grant Lounes, author of Foolproof French Visas: Complete 2026 Edition, will share clear, actionable advice to help you confidently plan your move from the United States to France. Whatever your motivation for heading to the Hexagon, Allison will guide you through the key steps and common pitfalls.

She will be joined by Judith Benamran, a Paris-based buyer’s agent, who will present on finding, buying, and owning property in France. Judith will walk attendees through the French real estate process and answer questions for anyone considering purchasing property in Paris or the surrounding area

We’ll address common questions such as:

  • Which visa is right for my situation?
  • How long does the process take?
  • Can I work remotely from France?
  • What are the real costs of living in France?
  • How does buying property in Paris actually work?
  • What should I know before making the move?

Come ready with your own questions!
The evening will conclude with a Q&A session, followed by a book signing.
