French Home Insurance
French home insurance refers to building and contents insurance for your French property.

French Life Insurance for Mortgages
French banks require life insurance from an approved French insurer to be taken with a French mortgage.
The term "life insurance" in anglophone countries is known in French as "assurance décès" which literally translates to "death insurance." This is not to be confused with the French product "assurance vie" which literally translates to "life insurance."
Lending banks will require that borrowers have life cover for at least 100% of the French mortgage amount. This is usually related to income. For example, a couple who earns roughly the same income could take French life cover for 50% of the French mortgage amount each. This means that in the event that one borrower dies, 50% of the remaining French mortgage would be repaid by the life cover.
