What it really costs in France — and why
Owning a Morgan in France works out roughly 18% cheaper than the United States over a lifetime (€98,050 versus about $129,200 equivalent). The driver is France's local price level: food sits at index 0.92 and vet/grooming services at index 0.78 (1.00 = US baseline). The single biggest yearly line is food at about €1,615. A Morgan is a large breed eating ~20 cups a day, so feeding alone runs about €1,615 a year here. Across its 27.5-year average lifespan those annual costs compound into the €98,050 lifetime total, and with a functioning pet-insurance market you can cap large vet bills for around €285/yr.
