Insurance in France

Public health cover comes from CPAM and your carte Vitale, but most residents add a mutuelle (complémentaire santé) to cover the gap. Car (assurance auto) and home (assurance habitation) insurance are legally required, and the loi Hamon lets you cancel most policies after one year. French insurers are supervised by the ACPR. The guides below walk through each type of cover and how to compare providers.
