Dear Mario, I think your American bank can give you more information concerning the most suitable way of money transfer. Usually international students open a French bank account upon their arrival, it is easy and free of charge, IESEG will help you to open an account.

Please pay attention that a French bank account is also required for the visa renewal process in case you will need to renew your visa.

Dear Mario
Opening a French bank account for US citizens is more complicated than for European students. You need to contact your bank to find out exactly what papers you require to do so. You also need to have a specific fiscal number that your US bank will provide you with.Please check all of this with your US bank before arriving in France
