- ta32423hoi2h 1y agoSure, if you don't mind living out in the sticks :P France has a big concentration of people around the big cities with a big empty diagonal in the middle of the country, form south-west to north-east (literally called 'la diagonale du vide'). Not only are you far from anything resembling a city, but infra for public & private transport are lacking. So if you can wfh and find a place with good 4g/5g coverage, and you won't miss social interactions, it can be great value. But as soon as you get closer to e.g. Paris or Lyon, things look very different.

- ta32423hoi2h 1y agoThere are lots of websites where you can search for rural housing in france, but it's quite fragmented so there is no real one-stop-shop where you can find everything. You can start here though: https://www.proprietes-rurales.com/ https://www.proprietes-rurales.com/ (I am not affiliated in any way with the website, was just the first one i found)
- JodieBenitez 1y agoYou won't "live for free" as France has quite a high tax rate. But if you have any valuable skill and are open to the culture you can certainly live a good life there.
- throwaway290 1y agoI just meant rent free obviously.
