Hi chaps
Just seen this thread so I thought I'd chime in
Lebowski is right about insurance, multibike does not exist here, some companies will give you 10% off a second policy but that's about all
I have always found AMV to be the cheapest
https://www.amv.fr/
If you have proof of your past insurance contracts bring it with you, it takes 13 years here to get to 50% no claims and if you've never been insured here you may have to start from scratch
I was lucky enough to be able to prove my insurance history when I arrived and got to keep my no claims bonus
I use Direct assurance for cars, they are almost always the cheapest and they accepted my proof of UK history

The finance packages here are not as interesting as PCP from what I can tell, the "assurance" mentioned is indeed an insurance for the loan against injury or job loss usually although this is generally not worth the money
If you are going to be working here in your current company but on a french speaking site you will learn the language quickly
I came here 20 years ago and spoke almost no French but working all day in french you you just pick it up, within 6 months you will be getting by no problem, after 2 years you'll be pretty good orally
Reading comes quickly but writing is a lot longer, spellcheck & grammar check helps a lot !
