One of the most common misconceptions about the French is that they don't speak English. In most cases this is incorrect; they know but would rather speak their native French. Knowing this, you should probably touch up your skills in their language to best mingle with the locals.Most people starting out in France will rent as the transaction costs are quite high for buying property. Unless you're planning on staying there for quite some time (more than 5 years), renting is the way to go.

France has a universal healthcare system and is generally regarded as one of the best systems in the world by the World Health Organization.
