Seems quite specific. I also live in a country with universal healthcare and this cap does not exist there.

“The French”. Glad you met all the people in the country, julieg0593. I haven’t been successful doing so :)

Really depends honestly. I come from Annecy, a place I love, but I wouldn’t call the people from Haute-Savoie department welcoming. Many people from outside Paris likes to bash the capital (same in England), but the Parisian area have one of the most mixed population in the country. Whereras there are places where one be publicly rejected for being an “outsider”.

Would worth getting the dual citizenship to be able to move around in the EU :)

You know there are many French people in the muslim / African roots community + in those suburbs? With the expensive rates, many “Westerners” as you call them move there because it’s hard to find / afford something in Paris or the “première couronne” in 92 for exemple.

Unfortunately right !

I wonder where this person who has taken the time to learn my language from

Hm, not sure it’s something worthy of interest honestly. That’s the bare minimum when one lives abroad. I just go there on holidays, but I wouldn’t expect someone in the UK being supportive that I learnt English.

Well it you don’t think you fit, it’s understandable that you’d look for a place where you’d feel better.

btw I don’t know anyone who puts down people for their “American-ness”, so maybe you’re not surrounded by very welcoming people.
