Not technically "pay", but:

  • Healthcare
  • Vacation
  • Employees having rights at all

are pretty good benefits.

And France has the most number of public holidays in Europe.

As a side note. If you are able to negotiate for more pay, you're also able to negotiate for more paid holiday. Just saying.

That's a massive "if" and depends on many factors. I'd rather have my paid vacation days guaranteed by law.

Yeah but most countries have 4-5 weeks and you can negotiate more on top of that.
