For American families moving to France, school is one of the biggest adjustments. The French system is more centralized than the American one. It starts formal schooling earlier, follows a national curriculum, gives strong importance to exams and diplomas, and gives teachers more authority in the classroom.

There are few things as satisfying as a perfectly roasted chicken: juicy, fragrant with rosemary and other herbs, and protected by a shatteringly crisp layer of skin. Yet these days, for New Yorkers, rôtisserie chicken has become another fixture in the ever-rotating hype carousel, with overpriced birds ($58 at Cleo, a whopping $77 at Gigi’s) rendering the experience relieved of its homespun charm. This is why it might be time for a return to the classics.

For Americans planning a move to France, or already building a life with a French partner, marriage often becomes part of the process. While French weddings are often imagined as romantic celebrations in châteaux or gardens, the legal reality is far more structured. In France, a wedding is not simply a private moment with loved ones; it is also a matter of the state.

Life in 2026 is tough. Even in happy times, storm clouds lurk overhead, shadowing us as we flee, slamming the door hard behind us. Movies entertain us and also construct metaphors for our vague, universal twitchiness and dread. The 10 best French films of the year so far tell stories of people working to make it to the other side. Lovers, seekers, characters whose lives would be soaring, if it weren’t for that one pesky desire, war, hurricane, ex-girlfriend, or dead patient.
