Although it is not mandatory for EU citizens to register with local authorities, it is recommended to register your residence with the local mairie (town hall) if you plan to stay for more than three months. This can help with administrative processes and accessing public services.
You are required to have health insurance coverage in France. If you are employed, you will typically be covered by the French social security system (Sécurité Sociale). You can also apply for the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) before moving, which provides temporary health coverage. Alternatively, you can get private health insurance if you are not employed or want additional coverage.
