Why France Wants More Americans to Move There: Adrien Frier, Consul General of France in LA
What does France actually look for in the Americans who want to move there? In this episode, we sit down with Adrien Frier, Consul General of France in Los Angeles, at his residence in Beverly Hills for a candid, wide ranging conversation about relocation, integration, and the future of the France US relationship. Adrien explains why immigration has always been part of France's national story, what qualities the French government actually looks for in newcomers, and why Americans in particular are seen as such a strong fit. We talk through the realities of the French healthcare system, the France US pension agreement, how much French you really need to speak to integrate, and why choosing the right region matters just as much as the visa itself. We also get into Bastille Day, the road to the 2028 LA Olympics, and why the bond between France and the US runs deeper than politics, built instead on the millions of personal connections formed between the two countries. Whether you're actively planning a move to France or simply curious about the process, this is a rare, honest look at relocation from someone who sees it happen every day.
