COST OF LIVING

Save €15,400 in net spending power every year

A family of 4 (renting a 100 square-meter -1076 square-foot- apartment in a residential neighborhood, paying full-time childcare for 1 child and 15 hours of housecleaning per week, with average spending on everyday items such as food, transportation, healthcare and leisure) will save €15,400 net per year by living in Lyon rather than in Paris. For the same quality of life, the budget for Lyon comes out 30% lower than the budget for Paris.
