S'installer au Maroc: plutôt Fès ou Marrakech?
by Shayma
This discussion is in French, the community’s main language.
Original post
Bonjour,
nous souhaiterions mon mari et moi nous installer au maroc avec nos 3 enfants. Mon mari est d'origine marocaine et nous envisagerions d' y ouvrir une maison d'hôtes ou un commerce. Nous nous posions la question de savoir si c'est mieux d'aller à Fès ou Marrakech (principale destination des touristes mais justement p-être le secteur est il saturé?) et Fès nous ne connaissons pas du tout la ville, nous n'y sommes jamais allés mais cette ville est 1 tout petit peu plus proche de la ville ou habite 1 partie de la famille de mon mari. Que nous conseilleriez-vous?
Merci d'avance pour vos précieux avis.
Merci d'avance pour vos précieux avis.
Conseil: aller visiter les villes par vous-meme et se renseigner sur l'activité
ah oui ça, de tte façon, c primordial, mais avoir l'avis de gens qui en ont fait l'expérience nous aiderait certainement aussi! ;)
Bonjour
Le secteur des maisons d'hôtes est saturé à Marrakech, aucune idée à Fès.
Quant à ouvrir un commerce, de quel genre ? Un de plus ?
Je regrette que les gens qui veulent s'installer au Maroc n'aient que cette idée en tête, alors qu'il y a sûrement tant d'autres activités à créer. Lesquelles, me direz-vous ? Certes, c'est en vivant sur place et en observant autour de vous les manques que vous pourrez affiner votre projet de vie.
N'avez-vous pas une compétence particulière apte à concurrencer le secteur marocain ? Si votre domaine d'activité en Belgique est propice à créer votre emploi au Maroc, c'est peut-être là que se trouve l'idée ? Oeuvrez dans ce que vous savez déjà faire.
Je vous conseille de parcourir des sites créés par des expatriés français au Maroc qui pourront vous apprendre les opportunités ou les écueils à éviter, etc ... Je pense notamment à caryl.fr ou à casawaves.com que je parcours depuis 2 ans déjà que je vis au maroc.
Cordialement Danièle

Je ne saurai que te conseiller si ce n'est que Marrakech regorge de maisons d'hôte et le tourisme cette année a bien diminué. De nombreux Riads n'ont pas été compets, alors peut-etre que le déclin de Marrakech est en marche...dans ce cas mieux vaut cibler une autre ville.
* ***........ gens qui en ont fait l'expérience nous aiderait certainement aussi! ****
il est dommage que les VFistes qui étaient enthousiastes il y a 2 ou 3 ans , et qui refusaient le moindre conseil objectif, ne se trouvent pas ici pour raconter leur expérience.... et pourtant , il y a quelques belles descentes aux enfers, et quelques belles fortunes envolées ....
La maison d'hotes ne s'improvise pas , c'est un vrai métier , et sur place 26h/24 !!

Aid Moubarak!
Il faut aussi cibler les villes ou vous pouvez scolariser vos enfants, s'ils sont déjà avancés, le problème de la langue arabe peut s'averer un reel handicap:risque d'hypothequer leur avenir.
Les villes cotières ont aussi leurs atouts si compétences il y a.
bon vent en tous cas!et méditez les conseils on ne peut plus sages des intervenants.
Même si vous êtes aigle ne vous fâchez pas avec le sol(demeurer humble et modeste)dicton Berbère.
merci pour vos réponses, j'attendais plutôt des témoignages de gens qui ont franchi le cap et se sont installés là bas. Évidemment, ceux qui se sont plantés et sont rentrés en Europe ne viennent pas spécialement raconter leurs déboires sur le forum.
et c vrai que la plupart qui s'installent là bas pensent directement à la maison d'hôte comme source de revenus. mais, à moins d'être engagé à coup sûr quelque part, on ne voit pas trop ce qui pourrait marcher au Maroc. quand à mettre en avant nos compétences, mon mari est employé ds un grand magasin, que pourrait-il faire de ça au Maroc, à part un commerce je vois pas trop?
BarakAllahou dik bihich, aid moubarak à vous aussi! Pr l'école, mes enfants sont encore petits (l'ainé a 4 ans) donc je pense que pr l'apprentissage de la langue, ça ne devrait pas poser trop de prob.

Malgré les avis divers je dirais qu'il existe encore des possibilités au maroc, malheureusement ensuite c'est une question d'homme qui crée un projet et non du pays. Les maisons d'hôtes c'est l'idée de tous les français depuis plus de 30 ans, mais l'époque n'est plus celle des années 80. Maintenant le prix d'un bien augmente le risque, alors qu'hier cela s'est transformé en bénéfice assuré.
Avez-vous un budget déja pour cela ? Ensuite attention, la galère de la réalité sur place à fait perdre pas mal d'argent à beaucoup qui sont repartis, car la gestion du temps n'est pas possible ici selon le projet....
donnez déja plus d'éléments pour que l'on puisse vous répondre avec plus de précisions. J'ai conseillé d'autres personnes sur ce type de projet, il y a des éléments trés importants et variables selon l'endroit, la ville, l'administration que les arrivant ne peuvent connaître, la est le problème.
Maintenant le Maroc à des gros besoins de compétences dans divers domaines, il faut savoir que la qualité et le service manque, attention aussi vers qu'elle clientèle commerciale visée, locale ou étrangère, quelles attentes aussi personnelles financières, locale ou un revenu européen ?
Je suis optimiste mais avec connaissance...

Idem pour moi , je connais bien Fes , cela n'a rien a voir avec Marakech , mais comme justement cette ville se sature elle meme Fes a encore de beaux jours devant elle , mais prend le pas sur Marakech , tout comme Meknes J'aime Fes , car au moins on bute beaucoup moins sur des touristes!!!

J'ai voulu vérifier par moi même "l'ambiance" de Marrakech, étant pensionné au minimum et trés nostalgique du continent africain où j'ai travaillé longtemps... et trés peu dans le tourisme... (séjour en novembre 2009)
Je n'ai pu tenir plus d'une semaine au milieu des touristes... 😠 cela me rappelle trop la situation en 2000/2001 sur la petite côte sénégalaise ! Marrakech risque fort de devenir identique... mais cela n'est que mon impression... des billets d'avion pas chers qui apportent des touristes en masse et perturbent l'économie locale, la culture, et je dirais même la crédibilité des européens dans certains cas... comme dab, certains me font honte... mais ils ne sont pas sur ce forum, quoique...
Parfois, je me dis que si j'étais de l'autre côté de la barrière, j'essaierais de les arnaquer aussi ces voyageurs aux bobs publicitaires avec le sac assorti...😏

After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.
My slogan: To be visibly useful to society
You’ve got to dare, even if it makes you tremble.

Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...
What price should I expect to pay for a modest small apartment or a large room in a bedroom community in Quito? Are restaurants and food expensive? And which airline is best to travel from Montreal? Thanks for your answers
Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi there. I’m planning to move to Luxembourg around December 2025 or January 2026. I’ll be looking for a job and settling in. My question is: is it too complicated to find housing? Is the job market more advantageous and easier than in France? I’m open to any information that could help me.

Hi everyone,
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?
Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

Hi everyone,
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!
Cheers,

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant. In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there? Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on! Thanks for your feedback!!

I’d love to go to Japan to travel, and if things go well, work there too. Has anyone tried finding a job there? Is it even possible without speaking Japanese? I’m thinking of starting out in restaurants (dishwashing or serving) and then moving into my field, IT.

Hi everyone!
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻

Hi everyone,
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?

Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

Hi,
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]

Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol
