    As an immigrant to another country myself - after all, that's what a so-called "expat" is - I keep an eye on the trends in this area, and the international financial services company HSBC has for 14 years done a survey of expats (though they've never gotten around to me lol), and France is firmly in the top ten on the latest, for 2021: https://www.cntraveler.com/gallery/the-10-best-countries-for-expats...
