Regardless of what you take home at the end, do not move to France for the salary/wealth. Move to France for the way of life and the overall social and personal security. Some people prefers not being in a perpetual rat race and having more time to enjoy life, by being with your family everyday (not just on week-ends!), doing sport with friends or knowing that you won't go bankrupt/uninsured because of some stupid accident like growing old. If you're really into the rat race, awesome, keep doing it, but yeah, you probably should not move to France. I'm personally expatriated because my current mood is settled for the rat race. As I'm growing older, I have the feeling I'll regret it if I don't slow down and I'm very much considering moving back to Europe/France.
