You discovered you are moving to Paris and you are already dreaming of the walk along the Seine, the stream of museums and exhibitions, the trip to see the fantastic château in the Loire Valley... Well you have got to earn it.
Brace yourself for a seemingly neverending bureucratic nightmare and kilometers of red tape.
French people love paperwork.

In fact, the joys of Paris are too often mitigated by the stream of inconveniences that expatriates face there.

Having said that the requisite bureaucratic shuffle for foreigners in Paris is almost as pervasive as their adoration of the city. 
The descriptions of its marvels abounds... City of Lights, City of Monuments, City of Love, The World's Most Beautiful City...  and all of them are true! 

So get ready to face bureacracy and paperwork, there is a reward waiting for you at the end of the tunnel!
