The step-by-step roadmap from a Franco-American couple who made the move: visa, property, finances and your first 30 days, in the right order. Tell us where you're headed to see the full plan.
France vs Italy vs Spain, and what €180K–€500K actually buys in each.
The right long-stay visa for your situation, plus FBAR/FATCA and opening a European bank account.
Where locals search, the 10-minute listing scorecard, and how negotiation differs in each country.
Notaire/notaio closings, healthcare, utilities: your first 30 days mapped.
Every week our team in Paris reviews new listings across France, Italy and Spain. Less than 1% make the cut. Here are a few that did:

We built our life on the Île Saint-Louis — the visa appointments, the notaires, the bankers who had never met an American. The 90-Day European Move is the playbook we wish we'd had: the same steps, in the right order, without the forum noise.
