If you're considering relocating from France to a warmer climate or a place that feels more like home, factor in the cost of living before deciding. While France isn't cheap, it pales in comparison to many other countries—including some neighbors. Drawing on data from Statista, a trusted German statistics portal, we've compiled a ranking of the world's most expensive countries for daily expenses.
Statista evaluated multiple criteria for this ranking: rent, utilities like water and electricity, average grocery bills, transportation, leisure activities, and clothing costs. Scores are benchmarked against New York City, indexed at 100. France lands at 21st place with a score of 50.82—roughly half the cost of living in NYC.
