Hi @stover.daniel, and first of all-- welcome to Steemit! I hope you'll enjoy your time here with us!

I expect France is much like the rest of Western Europe... work is something you do to enable you to otherwise enjoy life. That's how it was (and is) in Denmark, too... less focus on working "so you can BUY stuff."

Seems to me that living abroad is a good thing... offers some perspectives we might not have, otherwise.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
