That’s the wish of many people in France.

You don’t have to wait until 62 or 67 to retire and make your dreams come true

In principle, you are not required to work until the legal retirement age. This is simply the minimum age at which you can apply to receive your pension from the general scheme, i.e. that of private employees. Please note that the legal age, which depends on your date of birth, does not automatically entitle you to a full pension.

There’s no perfect age to retire: just calculations to do
• the length of time you have been contributing to your pension in relation to the required duration, which depends on the number of quarters you have been accredited.
• your pension rate: if you have not contributed the required number of quarters, a décote (reduction) is applied to your pension.

In addition, several measures exist that make it possible to leave working life earlier and under better conditions.
