Retirement options in France

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for advice from someone who has worked in France up to retirement age.

My situation is:

I moved to France 12 years ago and continued to pay my UK class 3 contributions up to the maximum required to give me a full UK state pension. I have worked in France for 12 years and paid my cotisations towards my French pension. I would be interested to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and taken retirement in France. I am trying to find out what my options are over the next 10 years.

Thanks,

Baldrick

As far as I can tell, you can retire from the age of 62 in France but you will get a reduced pension based on the number of trimestres accumulated in France. Once you reach 65 (or the appropriate UK retirement age) then your NI contributions will be converted to trimestres to increase your French pension.
