As an American expat in Dijon, I barely drive my car—just 600 kilometers a year—so I decided to test France's car-sharing program, Citiz, to see if I could ditch car ownership entirely. In this video, I'll show you exactly how Citiz works, whether Americans can use it with a US driver's license, what it actually costs compared to owning a car, and if car-sharing can truly replace having your own vehicle in France. I'll break down the real numbers, share my honest experience using the service for a month, and help you figure out if living car-free in France is realistic for you. Whether you're planning to move to France or already live here and wondering if you really need that expensive car sitting in your parking spot, this is everything you need to know about going car-free in France.
