Nice on the board.

The Riviera city with the airport, the hospitals, and the lycée, which is why the villas on the hills above it are owned by people who could live anywhere. Monaco is 20 minutes, the Alps 90.

The Patrician Letter

The rules move. Be told when they do.

Sent when it earns the send, not on a schedule. Never shared, one tap to stop.

Income tax on the published 2026 rules. Social contributions, most deductions and treaties are not modeled. In France employees also pay CSG and CRDS at 9.7% of salary, with no cap. Figures are for a non-US single filer. Wealth tax, an exit and your passports are added when you run the engine on your own numbers. Not advice. Residence rules change often. Verify before acting.
