On average, a budget traveler can expect to spend around $50 to $100 per day in France, including accommodation, transportation, meals, and activities. However, it's important to note that this estimate may vary depending on individual preferences and travel style.
France is known for its rich culture, top-notch education, and high standard of living. But it's also a country with a relatively high cost of living, especially in popular cities like Paris. This is why it’s helpful to oversee your expenses and to budget well if you’re considering moving to France.
The average cost of living in France per month for a single person is around €1,800. It's important to remember that this's just an estimate number, and your actual cost of living in France may be higher or lower depending on your location, specific needs, and lifestyle. For instance, if you live in Paris, the average cost of living can go up to €2,200 per month.
Overall, grocery shoppingin France is expensive compared to many other countries. Compared to other European countries, prices in France are 11% higher for everyday food products and 20% higher for fruits and vegetables.

If you want quality and price ratio, do your grocery from supermarkets like Carrefour Intermarché. For good discount deals, check discount stores such as Lidl and Aldi. If you want bio or premium products, expect to pay higher prices.
Living costs in France relative to French salaries
Now that you know the average living costs across French cities, it’s helpful to compare the cost of living with the average salaries. This will help you determine how much you need to earn to support yourself and live comfortably in France.
While living in France isn’t cheap, the average French salary is also higher than in most European countries. In 2022, the average salary in France was €2,340 net per month. Usually, the average salary changes proportionally to the city's average cost of living. To give you an example, the average salary in Paris is €2,570 per month, which is just enough to cover all your expenses, including rent.

Paris attracts expats for several reasons. Some want to live the romanticized Parisian lifestyle, while others head there for a better variety of jobs, where many international companies are located.

Thinking of moving to France and wondering about the cost of living?
I moved to France back in 2016, and this was a big question I had when doing my research and deciding whether or not to take the plunge and relocate.
The Cost of Food Shopping & Groceries in France
After a recent trip back to the UK the price increases in the supermarkets were quite apparent.
Prior to 2022, I would have said that there was a noticeable difference in prices, favouring the UK. Now I think there is parity for a weekly shop.
I don’t often visit the hypermarkets or supermarkets in the larger towns, which do tend to be cheaper than the local supermarkets in rural areas.
Instead, I prefer to shop more locally, which for me is LeClerc in La Rochefoucauld.
And one of the things I love to see is how they showcase the local farmers.
At the end of the fruit and veg aisles, they display seasonal products from their local partners.
Sometimes this might be a couple of baskets filled with pumpkins of all shapes and sizes.
Other times it might be like the image below where they’re displaying locally sourced apples and the juice made from the apples.
Just about anywhere you shop for groceries you’ll find this abundance of locally grown/sourced French produce. France produces IRO 80% of the food that it consumes.
They are proud to be French and absolutely favour their own country’s products. For example, on the cheese counter, you’ll only see French cheese.
Sometimes, if you know where to go, you can get mature cheddar, but it’s usually French cheese only.
