Hello,
You'll probably pay around 35-40% tax between social security and income tax. There is also housing tax and TV tax, but these don't add up to too much.

Regarding rent in Paris, 3K€/month is OK, but it depends on the arrondissment and the size. In a decent area, that could be the minimum for 100m2 - it could easily be more.

Regarding the car - not sure about shipping your car over. I have also heard it is a major hassle. Probably easier to buy one here if you need to. Quite a few cayennes in Paris even with the gas prices. Your company will most likely give you a company car and not an allowance. I was told by my company that allowances are not legal in France, but I don't know all the details on that. French companies get a tax advantage for providing cars, and they also count it as part of the salary package.

You may find an apartment with parking, but it will most likely be a newer building. You can rent a space in the public garages for a resident rate and get your company to pay as part of your package. It runs about 250-300€/M at my garage.

Driver's license - If you don't already have it, try and get an exchangeable license before you come or there is a good chance you won't be able to drive legally in France after one year. Taking the driving exams can easily take 1-2 years in Paris. The waiting time for is 4-8 months for each exam even going through a driving school.

Good luck
