THE EVERYDAY PICTURE

Life, language & your budget.

French B1 required.

The point to keep in mind

About ten places; selection competitive; private flat consumes much of allowance.

The Liège example uses one adult in a private one-bedroom home outside the centre.

Net monthly allowance€1,593
Central living costs€1,448
Central balance€145

This is an illustrative city budget, not typical national savings. The higher-cost case is negative.
