I just watched "Sicko" by Michael Moore and it explored the American Health Care System. He interviewed some people in France and they said they were also given 1 week of vacation if they got married and received free/low cost day care. The gov’t even pays for someone to come out to the home and do laundry for a lady that had an infant. Is this for real?
We pay for that system with our taxes. All in all it comes cheaper than what the US pay for its own system but it is not ‘free’. We just share the expense between everyone and thus allow those will small salaries to have full coverage too. That also allows the social security to send help to people in need (nurse, helper…) but only after a check up that you really need the help.
The five weeks a year holiday for full time workers is the basic laws. Things change if your particular branch of work has passed a contract with the representatives of the companies, then you have to obey the contract and not basic law. And then it depends too what category you are, as you go up the scale many if not most of those advantages disappear. Of course the salary is bigger.
To answer Jake :
GDP per hour worked as % of USA (USA=100), France = 100.6
Rank: 7th
USA rank :8th

I received an e-mail saying I have a free holiday for 2 going to France from European Vacations all I need to send is £20 for Admin Fees but it’s fully refundable. Has anyone heard of them?
It’s a scam.
Don’t even think of sending any money.
Just ask yourself why anyone/company would give a free holiday during the worst global recession in almost ninety years….
Please report those very annoying SPAM postings saying…informative website, just stay a minute etc.

I am a Filipina and I would like to know if i can have a vacation back in Philippines after a year living in France?
Yes, you can marry a French fiance and You can have a vacation in Philippines because It doesn't mean you can't go back.
I have also relatives in America was having vacation here in Philippines when my aunt (Filipina) Angie married to a French-American named Paul with her daughter. They went to Bohol and other places. I have lots of cousin marrying a foreigner.
