e.g. this one is just 40Km away: http://www.sintsixtus.be/eng/brouwerij.htm Even the local beer is good: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/260/1308/ > we can think that 2700 Euros (before final taxes) should be a good working > number I think it should be explained that this is the french version of "before taxes", not the same as, for example, german brutto. This means, health insurance, pension and all social welfare is already deducted. So if we take taxes into account (single person, no kids), this means you get 2400 EUR/Month. To get 2400 EUR/Month in germany, you need a "before tax/health/social/unemployment" salary of 4.200 EUR/Month (or 50.000 EUR for the year). So it's not that bad. And Lille is cheap. As a typical european city, you don't need a car, and for the ticket for public transport, INRIA pays half. This means my cost of transport is just 18.50EUR a month, plus Train for traveling to Paris or London on the weekend... The health insurance system is rated as one of the best public ones in the world by the WHO, the local hospital is the best in the whole country. And health insurance is *not* connected to employment. One can *never* lose health insurance. Whatever happens.
