Under the Covers
Striking national differences affect many aspects of life in a foreign country - things that we consider normal may vary quite noticeably. Insurance is one of these: while the policies sound alike you may not actually be getting the same type or level of cover that you'd expect and you may end up not being protected in quite the way you thought.
Understand the small print
It helps if you can feel confident that your insurer (or broker) understands you and can address your needs; that you are speaking the same language. That's why AngloINFO provides a comprehensive list of English-speaking insurers in The AngloFILE, AngloINFO's directory of local businesses and organisations able to serve you in English.

Some things typically have to be insured by law - such as third-party liability for driving cars - while others may be just a very good idea. Find out more from the INFOrmation Page Insurance & Insuring a Vehicle in France.
Also, see the INFOrmation Page on French Health Insurance to make sure you understand what cover you are entitled to, and what supplementary top-up options exist.
Remember: it's your responsibility to make sure you have all the insurance the law demands of you, and your peace of mind will be much greater if you know exactly what is covered and to what extent.
