120K+ around here, plus bonuses. If you're *good*, it's more like 180.
45K+ Euros... $60K+
I'm not a DBA, I just have a clue ( as in I can do a lot of things in a Sybase DB, but I habe no formal training on it ).
With your 120K you have to pay for a retirement plan ( I don't ), you have to pay for medical stuff ( I don't ), and more...
So in the end you'll probably net be far from the 60K.

His kids can get pretty much free education in France.
Well, up to university it's basically free ( you just have to pay for a few books, pens and paper ), in University you have to pay something... but it's a joke compared to University costs in the US or the UK ( Up to 400ish Euros in normal Uni... it can be quite more expensive for some private schools... but well they are private owned )
And yes you can't beat the 50ish days of vacation with work time that rarely go over 40ish hours a week.
