The urban area of Stuttgart can reach a 1.8 million of inhabitants there classifying as the seventh largest in Germany.
It is unusual for a German city to be like Stuttgart, which is spread across several hills, vineyard, parks and valleys. This always surprises visitors as Stuttgart is known as the “cradle of automobile” and its industrial reputation. Stuttgart is also a centre of authority in regards with the state legislature, the local council and the regional parliament. Stuttgart is also the home of the Protestant State Church in Württemberg and in addition it is one of the two co-seats of the bishop of the Roman-Catholic Diocese of Rottenburg – Stuttgart.
The city has ranked thirtieth in 2010 in liveability rankings in the world and seventh in Germany.

Regarding business ventures, Stuttgart best description offered was “Where business meets the future” and it is now targeted at foreign investors as “The creative power of Germany”.
By being nicknamed the Schwabenmetropole, Stuttgart makes a reference to the Swabian dialect spoken by native dwellers in the centre of Swabia where the city is now located. Because of heavy emigration due to economic reasons, a lot of newly born residents are of immigrant background.
When in Stuttgart, beside the economic and industrial facade it exposes, there is also the cultural side of the city.
The crossover point between the Shopping area of the city, Stuttgart two central castles, the Schlossgarten Park and residential areas and major museums in the south-west is the largest square in Stuttgart named Schlossplatz. The shopping street named Königstraße is considered to be the longest pedestrianized street in Germany.
After the World War II, the damage that occurred on Stuttgart has been repaired and many historic buildings were reconstructed. Stuttgart has some amazing pieces of modern post-war architecture such as the Collegiate Church named Stiftskirche which has a Late Gothic Style on the exterior mixed with a bit of Romanesque style and on the interior it has a combination of various styles including the Romanesque, Gothic and Modern styles. After the war it was reconstructed with a simplified interior.
There is also the Old Castle named Altes Schloss with parts that date back to 1320 and which adopts a Renaissance style; and the New Castle named Neues Schloss which was a mixture of Baroque/Classicism style and that was later reconstructed with modern interior.
In Stuttgart’s suburbs and beyond there are various castles that have significant importance, which are reminders of the city’s loyal past. Some of these are the Ludwigsburg Palace, the Castle Solitude, Castle Rosenstein and the Castle Hohenheim. If you have time on your hands it well worth in visiting these since they embrace different styles such as mixtures of Baroque with Rococo (Ludwigsburg Palace) or simply just Classical or Baroque Styles.
Other important building or institution you may find there are the Württemberg Mausoleum which shelters the remains of King William I of Württemberg and Catherine Pavlovna of Russia. Also pass by the Wilhelma zoo and Botanical Gardens. The International style displayed by the Weissenhof Estate is worthy of a drive till there as it provides a sight to remember.
Stuttgart is also quite renowned for its vast cultural heritage such as its State Gallery and State Theatre and the city is even home to one of Germany’s most famous symphony orchestras named Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra. The orchestra mainly performs in the Liederhalle concert hall and has developed a distinctive sound known as the Stuttgart Sound.

Moving to Guadeloupe
Located in the Leeward Islands is the Caribbean island called Guadeloupe. The island stands in the Lesser Antilles and has a area of about 1,628 km2 with a number around 400,000 of inhabitants. The island is considered as an oversea region of France and it is an essential part of France. Guadeloupe encompasses other smaller sized islands such as Marie-Gallante, the Iles des Saintes and La Desirade.
The island known under the name of Guadeloupe is part of the Eurozone and the European Union as well. As a result the currency used currently on the island is the euro. Although the island is an oversea department of France, it is not yet included in the Schengen Area. The prefecture of the region is Basse-Terre and the official language spoken there is French. Nevertheless many of the people living there are able to speak Antillean Creole.
When talking about the Guadeloupe Island, many will fondly remember the literary achievements that island inhabitants portrayed over a long period of time. One of the most well-known such achievement is the poetry that Saint-John Perse wrote during his lifetime. Saint-John Perse was a pseudonym that Alexis Leger used for his creations. The biggest achievement of this great man was considered to be when he won the Nobel Prize in Literature back in 1960 for “the soaring flight and the evocative images of his poetry, which, in a visionary fashion, reflects the conditions of our time.”
The great minds that were found on such a secluded area has amazed many people but it’s literary output is even today recognised and continued by many journalist, essayists, poets and even novelists. Such names as Simone Schawartz-Bart, Mayse Conde and M. Ernest Pepin are only a few of the great talents that have risen from the shores of Guadeloupe.
Along with the various literary talents, the people of Guadeloupe are also well known for their dances and music. The combination of French, Indian and African styles have created some unique forms that are specific to the Guadeloupe region, such as the dance styles named zouk-love, zouk and kompa but also hip-hop and other modern dances.
If you think you could enjoy such a variety of cultures and that you will fit in, don’t hesitate to move to Guadeloupe. A new adventure filled with different sounds, smells and moves waits for you! Leave the worrying for us and don’t concern yourself with small details.

Finding a French Property
If you are planning on moving to France then the biggest challenge will be to find a property; unfortunately France is a very “document heavy” society and therefore there can be a lot of leg-work before you close the deal; this however, is a little ahead of ourselves! And before you buy a property, quite obviously your going to need to find a property.
The first question your going to need to ask yourself is “why are you moving to France in the first place?” The answer to which will determine the kind of property that will be most suitable to your needs; for example, do you plan on living in France for a certain number of months of the year or are looking for a permanent residence?
Of course, your perfect property will be a matter of personal taste, however as a general rule a pied-à-terre (literally meaning foot on the ground) – which is a small place – will be perfectly suited as a temporary or “short-term” residence.
Also, if you are moving to France on a temporary rather than permanent basis, then it is likely that you will be in France for the warmer months, and therefore issues like insulation and heating costs may not be as permanent than if you were moving to France permanently.
Remember, France is a lot bigger than the UK, so moving to France will be markedly different depending on exactly where you plan on moving, for example a move to Paris will have its own challenges, in terms, for example, parking.
Moving to Brescia
In northern Italy there is the Lombarty region, and there is where Brescia is located. The town is situated at the foot of the Alps and it ranks as second largest city in Lombardy after its capital, Milan.
Brescia is the administrative capital of one of the largest provinces in Italy, namely the Province f Brescia and has been a significant regional centre for a long time now. Brescia has kept rather well preserved several medieval and Roman monuments and even an outstanding castle.
Brescia has a large industrial area, actually ranked as third-largest in Italy that focuses on automotive and mechanical engineering and machine tools. The city is well known for its firearm manufacturers namely Fabarm and Beretta. The companies that you find in this town are mostly small ones with family management and some mediums sized ones. The town does have a major employer in the financial sector and it is a rather famous tourist location thanks to the closeness of the Alps and two beautiful lakes, Lake Garda and Lake Iseo.
Brescia has a characteristic that was passed down from Roman times and which is the way how the old town is rectangular and how the streets intersect at 90 degrees angles. The portion that is surrounded on all sides by the medieval walls is bigger than the space occupied by the Roman town. Only the northeaster quarter of the old town was occupied by the Roman town.
One of the places that need to be visit is the Plazza del Foro as that is the place of the Roman-time forum. There is a temple complex that was discovered in 1823 as it was built on top another temple of a smaller size is supposed to be the Capitolium of Brescia. When unearthing the temple a winged Victory statue made out of bronze was found hidden away for the sole purpose of protecting it from the plundering that often took place in those times.
Some time ago, the Brescia Roman museum was housed by the Capitolium, but later it was moved to Santa Giulia complex, which was a former nunnery. The convent was run by the daughter of King Desiderius during the Lombard domination, namely the Princess Anselperga and it was quite powerful in those times.
There are many other Roman vestiges still visible but not all are open to visitors. For example there are barely sufficient remnants of the curia, which is a building supposed to have been a basilica, just on the north side of the Forum Square.
The Roman theatre can be found at the eastern side of the Capitolium. In ancient times, the theatre was attached to the Capitolium. On the slopes of Cidneo Hill a palace was built in the Renaissance time but over time the building slid and eventually covered the Cepitolium-theatre area in totality. As a result to that, only part of the theatre can be seen.
The monastery complex of san Salvatore – Santa Giulia and the archaeological area of the Roman Forum are officially a UNESCO World Heritage Site and they appertain to a group named the Longobards in Italy. Places of the power (568-774 A.D.) which is comprised of 7 such locations.
When staying in Brescia, there are some major location you should visit for a better understanding of the city’s history and charm. One such location is the Piazza della Loggia that evokes a Renaissance style, together with the related loggia, which is the current town hall. Then there is the Doumo Vecchio meaning old cathedral and which you might have heard of it under the name of La Rotonda. This cathedral lures people with a Romanesque church that has a circular shape and near the entrance there is a sarcophagus of Berardo Maggi made of pink Veronese marble. Various famous paintings can be found in the structure, such as the “Feast of the Paschal Lamb” and “Eli and the Angel”; paintings by Alessandro Bonvicino, Girolamo Romanino, Francesco Maffei and others.
You can also visit the Duomo Nouvo and the Broletto which is the medieval Town Hall, the Renaissance style church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli and Sr. Francis of Assisi which adopt a Romanesque-Gothic style and many other breathtaking and amazing locations. People who visit there remain forever captivated by the atmosphere and the beautiful views and many decide to move to Brescia. If you’re one who want to do it too, we can help you.

Europe – The World’s Finest Cuisine
Of course great food is perhaps not the most pertinent factor for anyone considering moving to France or moving to Sweden; however, there is something comforting in knowing that your new home knows good food! Luckily, pretty much every European nation is well versed in the art of cuisine, with even notoriously non-gastro nations serving up world beating food nowadays.
Belgian Bites
Belgium is an incredibly culturally diverse place, with the capital Brussels being officially trilingual, this is well reflected in its cuisines and not only does Belgium offer over 800 kinds of beer, as well as delicious chocolate, but it also offers a unique haute cuisine, influenced by its French neighbours. This means that anyone moving to Belgium will discover not only an intriguing European culture but also world class food.
German Dining
Just like England, Germany has had to work hard to shake off its stereotype as one of the less gastronomical nations in Europe, and these days it is known for its truly cosmopolitan restaurant culture. Of course it still retains its unique food heritage, and some of the finest food you’ll find in Germany is based on traditional German dishes, such as Goulasch or roast wild boar.
French Finesse
Of course, if you do follow your stomach as much as your heart, then you may find it hard to resist relocating to France, and not only is it England’s neighbour, but it is also known as the gastronomical capital of the world, and is packed full of world beating restaurants such as Le Chateaubriand; and whether you’re moving to France for the cuisine or not, there is something comforting in knowing that your homeland knows how to cook and boy does France know how to cook!
European Removal Experts Offer Discounted Removals From South Of France And Spain
European Removal Experts, a London-based removals company serving clients moving to France, Spain and across the EU for domestic, business and educational purposes, are now offering great discounts on trips coming to the UK from the South of France and Spain.
In conjunction with undertaking removals projects for clients moving to France or Spain, European Removal Experts also specialise in transferring clients’ goods from these destinations and back to the UK. A service such as this is designed with corporations in mind, as it is these kinds of projects which often require regular transportation not only to France or Spain, but the UK from these countries.
It is for this purpose that European Removal Experts are offering considerable discounts on such trips. Trips from France to the UK are heavily discounted at up to 50% off the original price, and include van removal sizes of up to 16 cubic metres.

Let the Professionals Take Care of Your Move to France
If you are planning on joining the thousands of Britons who are moving to France every year, the chances are you will already have taken just about every aspect of the move into account. There is a huge amount of information available online about the best way to go about making this life-changing move, so a quick look via Google should answer most of the questions you may have.
If you are moving to France due to work, the chances are your employer will be giving you some help in finding a new home, which takes away some of the pressure. However, if you are doing this as a lifestyle option, many experts believe that renting rather than buying is the best course of action. Once you are settled you can then begin looking at buying a property if this is what you want to do.
Moving home can be a stressful time – even if you are just moving to another house in the same town – so a move abroad can multiply the stress levels. With this in mind, why not take out one of the biggest headaches and let a professional company take care of the move?
Whether you are relocating to Paris or to a more rural area of France, European Removal Experts will look after every aspect of transporting your furniture and other belongings, ensuring that they arrive at your home in France ready for you and your family to begin your new life.
Retiring To The Sun
Regardless of how the pound and the Euro behave there are thousands of British couples who decide to pack up and move to France when they retire. And who can blame them when the pace of living is a little slower, the food is better and in many areas the weather is better throughout the year. Settling into a new country and a new way of life is actually far easier if you have your own things round you so generally when the retirees go abroad they will take the contents of their homes with them.
Moving to France with your own furnishings can be far more cost effective than buying new when you get there and certainly means that the feel of being home can be created immediately. A specialist removal company, like us at European Removal Experts, will take any hassle out of the move and deliver to your new home at a date to suit you rather than us. Our wagons are helping people moving to France every week and we can even offer to move part-loads if you don’t want to take everything when you move.
If the property that you are moving to in France is not immediately habitable we can arrange to store your possessions in the interim so that it can be delivered as and when you are ready to receive it, after all many people buy properties that they are going to either renovate or at least bring up to date. When you are moving to France using the right removal company can make a huge difference to the amount of stress you feel so do make sure that you pick one that has plenty of experience and knows the ropes so that everything goes smoothly to help you ease into your new life.
