The minimum salary for people who work in France on this Visa is €53,836.50 by law. The minimum legal salary for people working on H1B in the US is $60000, but in practice, the salary is of course much higher.

This isn't going to draw very many Silicon Valley engineers to France, but it could bring some people to France who failed to get an H1B.

Many indians know English, but how many of them know french. It's hard to live in a country without knowing the language.

That barrier affects Americans and Indians (and other H1B seekers) equally. The difference is that most H1B seekers have more motivation to leave their own countries.

53k is considered a high salary in France, at least if you're younger than 40 with no big responsibilities.

Bear in mind that with €53,836.50 in Paris you can rent 40/45m² (if you're alone).
