==Life in France==
France is a developed country and the 'standard of living' here is quite high. Living expense is also quite high, but it is less compared to Switzerland, etc.  French government provides good support for research. The Social Security provided in France is quite good. French people are also very friendly but if you don't speak French, it's difficult to interact socially.

French people are not at all racists. They don't consider anyone as an outsider, especially if you speak French. And in most of the Government offices in France, service is much much better than in India - they promptly reply to emails, take photocopies of customer documents as per need, etc. French people do enjoy their life. They have like 40 days vacation every year and they don't work outside office hours. i.e.; they mostly work from 9 am - 6 p.m.  And they do take a good lunch break also. But during their work hours they are as dedicated as any - that shows in their achievements.

Another speciality of French people is that they do have good family relationships. At many tourist places you can see couples, including many old ones, coming and enjoying their life. Even in cities you can  find a lot of families roaming around.

Since people from many countries come to France, take care of your stuffs while travelling. Many pickpockets and baggage loses happen in France, especially Paris.
