If you want to retire in France but be able to go to Germany whenever you want, why not pick Strasbourg that ranks 9th in our list of best places to retire in France. Of course, you will be better off avoiding the metropolitan area and settling for quieter neighborhoods where the apartments cost $100 per square feet less. Unfortunately, the weather isn’t the best since there is an average of 14 rainy days per month and temperatures can drop to 30°F in January.
