Hello,

Move set for end of the year. I am a US citizen聽 with German聽 citizenship through my father.

The process for me as I understand it is that I just have to register as a resident at city hall, then complete application for carte vitale.

Any advice or information is appreciated in anything else I need to do.

Yes, I do that. I am wondering more about applying for the health insurance in France.

If you have the German citizenship, no problem to move to France. You can also go in any of the European countries. Wife and I have a website: bonjourneverand.com. Best of luck!
