Would you like to know more about healthcare in France besides it’s ‘the best in the world’? Are you moving to France and don’t know whether you need private insurance or can obtain French public Assurance Maladie? Whether you’re looking for information on different coverage options, hospital stays or French medical vocabulary, our comprehensive collection of ebooks can clarify it for you.

- We can now (drumroll!) help you digitally! Our complete range of carefully researched ebooks on all aspects of living in France are accessible at any time of day or night!
A New Online Shop
After months and months of preparation, I am delighted to introduce you to our new website! Besides all the updated content and improved features, the revamped website makes our highly sought-after ebooks available for download.
We compiled the ebooks from information uncovered while answering client queries and scouring official French sources. Each module provides actionable material with contact details, links, sources, tables and flowcharts. Some even walk you through a process step-by-step, such as applying for a Carte Vitale.
The first ebook collection covers the French healthcare system. The five modules provide practical advice, such as how to fill a prescription or what you need to take for a hospital stay. A useful glossary of medical terms completes the bundle.
We asked several focus groups and English-speakers from around the world to confirm that the ebooks were helpful and understandable. These readers provided loads of helpful feedback and agreed that the ebooks were more complete, accurate and easy-to-read than anything they’d come across before.
Each ebook comes in the form of a PDF document that you can save and access at any time on your computer or print out for handy reference.
You can download these ebooks individually, and if you purchase the full French Health ebook bundle before 31-December 2017, you’ll receive the Glossary of French Medical Terms for FREE!
