Daniel, If I were you, I wouldn't even consider moving to France until you have gone and stayed for a while to see if it suits you. From what the snobby people on this post suggest, they don't want immigrants there at all. I have heard that France is not as great as you think it will be. Do some research and experiment. Don't court misery by moving somewhere that is full of cold hearted snobs they will only make your life hell when you get there.  

Dear Transient, From the ridiculous responses you have received from these people on this forum I would advise you to get your life together in the US first, ie. get some therapy if necessary, get a job, save some money, then travel to France to see if it is really where you want to be. Your dream of what living there would be like compared to the reality may be shocking. It seems to me that the people who have responded to you on this forum are self centered and heartless. All they have done is argue with each other about history or try to get you to move to England (yikes). If that is the general attitude toward Americans (or any other immigrants, no doubt)  in France, you will be more unhappy there than ever. Do some research and maybe even move somewhere closer. I live in beautiful British Columbia Canada. You couldn't find a more gorgeous, friendly and caring place than here. Forget France!! or at least go for a visit first.  Don't ask these cold hearted people, they are too into themselves.
