Frequently asked questions

You've got questions. We've got answers.

Is this the same as The Door to France?

No. The Doorstep is your first step: seven focused lessons to help you decide if this move is realistic and what to do next. The Door to France is the full 71 lesson roadmap for the entire process, from planning to actually living your life in France. Most people start with The Doorstep, then move on to The Door to France when they're ready to commit.

What if I go through this and decide France isn't right for us?

That's still worth knowing, and worth knowing early. Finding that out now, before you've spent months or thousands of dollars chasing the wrong plan, is exactly what The Doorstep is for.

I've downloaded your free resources and checklists. Do I still need this?

Our free resources cover individual topics. The Doorstep puts it all in one place, in the right order, so you walk away with a real answer instead of a collection of scattered facts.

How long will this take me?

Twenty lessons, self paced. Most people get through it in an afternoon. You keep lifetime access, so there's no rush.

I'm not American. Does this still apply to me?

Our own experience is as an American family, so some of the specifics reflect that. But the framework, the budgeting questions, the location decisions and the honest self assessment apply no matter where you're moving from.

Do I need Kids and Pets if I don't have kids or pets?

If you're moving with kids, pets or both, this is built exactly for you. Schools, vet records, pet import rules and keeping everyone sane through the transition. If neither applies to your move feel free to skip it.

This add-on is available after the purchase of The Doorstep.
