I keep reading about these foreigners who live in Paris or live in France. 'A year in Provence'-- off we go, happy carefree, to our new house. No one ever tells you what the foreigners *do* so as to be able to live in France, let alone how they got a visa or whatever. I must assume they're all independently wealthy or working for a foreign firm, because I know living in Japan involves definitely being independently wealthy, working for a foreign firm, or teaching English.

Oh, forgot the obvious-- married to a French person.

Nope. Technically, I was still covered by the visa (I think); I just hadn't been using it to attend a university. (And yeah, I'm sure they would -- if you enrolled as a student. :) I hopped back and forth over the Swiss border constantly, and occasionally had to dig out my passport. I could have been deported at any point because I had no work visa, but no one seemed to care.
