-There are two levels of pension scheme in France: the French state pension scheme, and the complementary top-up schemes (that’s either ARRCO or AGIRC), which CEA will register you for, and for which you need to send the Carte Vitale form copy, as above. Both schemes are compulsory (i.e. the public and the private), and should be automatic - check they appear on your payslip. What seems clear is that to achieve the maximum payout on retirement one has to work for 160 ‘quarters’ (... so 40 years) but there is pro-rata payment for those who have been working in France on a short-term contract - explanation of how pension is divided up between different EU countries: http://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/work/retire-abroad/state-pensions-abroad/index_en.htm
