France is within the means of many American retirees. Real estate is cheap, around $35,000 for a small townhouse; healthcare is rated the best in the world, with a doctor's visit costing you $30, and the cost of living is low. You can enjoy a nice bottle of wine for $3.50, with a wedge of brie going for around $1.15.
These prices apply to the south of France, where there's plenty of warm temperatures and sunshine. Paris will cost you much more.
