Despite its decidedly small size, the French region of Limousin is as charming, delightful and relaxing as the name suggests, even though it might not represent the kind of luxury that limousines – as in motor vehicles – have come to suggest. It is composed of three departments, each with its own capital, extending over a landscape that varies in height between 200 meters and 1000 meters. Such mountainous scenery also explains why this little province is home to a famous breed of beef cattle as well as an attraction point for hiking enthusiasts. At 977 m, Mont Bessou, towering over the town of Ussel in Corrèze, one of the three departments, is the maximum altitude reached in Limousin, as well as the tallest peak in the Plateau de Millevaches, which literally translates as “Plateau of Thousands of Cows”.
The most important urban agglomeration in this region is concentrated around the town of Limoges, capital to the Haute-Vienne department. It is home to about 300,000 people, half of which actually live in the city and the other half in the areas around it. This is also where most employment opportunities and professionals converge – understandable given how sparse the population is in the rest of the region. Those who do live there are an interesting mix of French people, generally locals, and British and Dutch immigrants who came here seeking – and arguably finding – a place of rest and quiet. Other urban settlements of note are the town of Guéret, capital to the third department, Creuse, Brive la Gaillarde,second largest city in Limousine, inhabited by roughly fifty thousand residents, as well as Tulle and Aubusson, miniature towns that still retain the charm of rural markets.
Those with an interest in history would also find plenty of attractions in Limousine, in particular in Limoges, which was first established as a city by the Romans. Its location between Paris and Toulouse has led to it becoming a famous artistic and cultural landmark in the region, gaining fame as early as during the Middle Ages. Much later, around the XIX century, both its notoriety and its economic development were due to their manufacturing of high-quality porcelain, a product that is indeed as luxe as the renowned limousine motor vehicles.

Moving to French Guiana
What is known officially as Guiana in France and by others as French Guiana is a beautiful region of France that is located on the northern side of the Atlantic. Guiana is an overseas department belonging to France which borders Suriname in West and Brazil in the East and South. French Guiana has a rather small population density for its 83,534 km2 meaning that there is a rate of 3 people per km The name derives from colonial times when The Guianas were colonies spread across the world. The French was added to the name Guiana as to distinguish it from the other colonies, such as Dutch Guiana which is now called Suriname, Spanish Guiana now named Guayana Region, and British Guiana now simply named Guyana and others as such. The French Guiana is collectively referred under the name of the Guianas along with the north and west larger countries Together they compose the large shield landmass which is one of the free craters found in the South America Plate.
Although not that populated, French Guiana is still thriving economically just by having the Guiana Space Centre, the French and European spaceport, which is used as the primary lunch site of the European Space Agency near the equator.
French Guyana also has many important ecosystems that they take care of and it’s quite well known for its tropical rainforest, inselbergs, wetlands and even savannahs. The high level of biodiversity that French Guiana has is an important part in its history and present time altogether. The European Union together with the International Union for Conservation of Nature have placed extraordinary effort in protecting the areas known as biodiversity hotpots together with various nature reserves and the Guiana Amazonian park, the old growth forests along with their fauna and flora will be preserved and protected for many years to come.
You can even say that French Guiana is a little piece of paradise, a pleasurable place that is closest to the natural way of life. So if you enjoy what it can offer, don’t hesitate to move to French Guiana.

The Best Way To See Europe
Britain is a very important part of the EU. Yet, with our own currency and the fact that we are totally cut off from all the other countries in our continent, it can sometimes feel like we are in our own little bubble and completely disconnected from the rest of Europe.
We are also quite far away from many parts of Europe which can make trying to see the whole continent a very costly and time-consuming operation, and yet we have one of the most culturally rich continents on the earth and it is extremely edifying and rewarding for us to experience all of those cultures as best we can.
For those who want to see as much of Europe as possible, then relocating and moving to Switzerland or moving to France will put you in a much better position to fully immerse yourself in our continent’s culture. Moving to Switzerland for instance will put you almost perfectly in the middle of Europe and mean that most countries are quickly and easily accessible by car or train.
Moving to France can offer very similar benefits, depending on which part of the vast country you move to and you can very easily find yourself experiencing and learning so much more about the world around us than you are ever able to with the UK as your base.
For those who love to travel and love to experience the cultures of our continental brethren, a move to Europe will offer you so much more potential to see and experience much more of what the world has to offer.
Germany – Here We Come
Moving to Germany may be the sort of undertaking that fills an individual with trepidation. For any of us, moving house, or simply moving part of a houses contents involves dealing with companies and activities that few of us deal with on a regular basis. Moving overseas increases complications through the greater complexity involved in crossing a controlled border in addition to encountering different local customs and legislation. Lastly, let’s not forget, a different language. Whilst it is possible to navigate around much of Europe with English as an only language, a bit more versatility both smoothes the path and engenders a more positive relationship with those you meet.
At European Removal Experts, our service is primarily geared up to assisting people moving to Germany or even possibly the other direction (back from Germany). We are a London based company which, being close to the midpoint between the continent and the UK, makes us ideally located for planning moves between the UK and the continent. Our aim is to move goods efficiently whether it is a complete house move or simply a smaller quantity of special items such as valuables or large pieces of furniture.
Moving to Germany is offered as a door to door service but there are also discount services available. These are offered where container space is shared by many customers on a scheduled basis. This enables a very cost effective method for moving to Germany from anywhere in the UK.
Customs clearance and all of the complications surrounding any house move are handled as part of the moving to Germany service and this enables the customer to focus their energies on other aspects of the house move, such as soft furnishings and possibly brushing up on a bit of sprechen sie Deutsch? Why use anybody other than specialists in this area for your house move?
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.

Despite its decidedly small size, the French region of Limousin is as charming, delightful and relaxing as the name suggests, even though it might not represent the kind of luxury that limousines – as in motor vehicles – have come to suggest.

Moving to Freiburg im Breisgau
Move to Freiburg im Breisgau!
Freiburg im Breisgau is located in the Baden-Württemberg in Germany. Baden-Württemberg is one of the 16 states of Germany and is situated in the southwestern part of Germany. Freiburg is one of the old German university towns; it is well known for its medieval ministry and university. It has advanced environmental practices and it is considered a green town as well as a high standard of living. Freiburg is the primary entrance point for admiring the Black Forest and it is located in a major wine-growing region.
Freiburg is famous for its beautiful scenery and its climate, which is relatively warm and sunny. The easy access if offers to the Black Forest give the town a steady income of tourists therefore helping it leave its mark on the map.
The city also has the longest cable car run in Germany, which goes from Günterstal to the mountain Schauinsland that is nearby.
One of the characteristics of the city is the gutters system, named Bächle, which stretches throughout the center and that used to provide water for extinguishing fires and feeding livestock. The water in these gutters is constantly being diverted from the Dreisam, which empties into the Elz. In the Middle Ages, using these Bächle as sewage was punishable. The water running through these now cools off the atmosphere in the city and its calming sound makes for a pleasant and calming atmosphere.
When visiting the old city, a rather famous place to go to is the Augustinerplatz, which is one of the central squares there. In the past there was an Augustian monastery there, that was remodeled in the Augustiner Museum in 1921 and is now a vastly popular social space where Freiburg’s young resident gather. There are several restaurants and bars and a well-known brewery that hundreds of students frequent named “Feierling”.
The Münsterplatz is located at the centre of the old city. Münsterplatz can be translated as Cathedral Square and it is the largest square in Freiburg. In this place, every day except on Sunday, farmers markets are held. Also here is located Freiburg’s Münster which is a red sandstone gothic minster cathedral which was build in the year 1200 and 1530 and that has an amazing towering spire which is what made it famous.
Other places you should visit if you ever get a chance are the Historical Merchants Hall on the south side of Freiburg’s Münsterplatz that displays a Late Gothic style capable of making you wonder at it for hours and that is decorated with the coat of arms and statues of four different Habsburg emperors. Then there is the old city hall, the Altes Rathaus completed in 1559 and the Platz der alten Synagoge meaning the Old Synagogue Square, on the outskirts of the historic old city.
For an breathtaking overview of the city and it’s sorounding region, head over to the east of the city centre, at the Schlossberg hill. You can go there by using the Schlossbergbahn funicular railway that connects the city centre and the hill.
Many choose to move to Freiburg because of its long history as a centre of research and academia and to try to step on the footprints of numerous Nobel Laureates and intellectual figures that lived there. The city is the home of a renowned university in Germany and also one of the oldest, as well as its medical centre.

Top Pick: Flower Festivals of Europe
Moving to mainland Europe could afford you the fantastic ability to mix easily with the diverse and thrilling cultures of our sister nations. For the green-fingered amongst you, here’s our top pick of European flower festivals and shows on the schedule for 2011:
1. International Violet Meeting (Toulouse)
Moving to France? During February Toulouse plays host to visitors from around the globe, mutually intent on celebrating the cute violet flower! This free festival resides at the Place du Capitole, and includes a nail-biting violet contest, exhibitions, lectures, food markets and – of course – plant stalls!
2. Holland Flowers Festival (Zwaagdjik-Oost)
From 23rd-27th February, The Greenery venue is decked out with Holland’s premier flower festival! And it’s not all tulips, shows include daffodils, narcissi, hyacinths, crocuses and irises – to name but a few. Moving to Holland in February? Make the festival your first big cultural event! The companion lifestyle fair is almost as popular at the festival itself (another reason for moving to Holland in February!)
3. Past and Present Vegetables (Saint-Jean de Beauregard, France)
Who says flowers should get all the attention? Relocating to France with a little organic veggie cultivation in mind? September sees the arrival of this quaint show, set in the stunning grounds of the chateau Domaine de Saint-Jean de Beauregard. Although the chateau hosts various festivals throughout the year, this one achieves notoriety amongst amateurs and professionals alike (we suspect it to be something to do with the superb lunches and afternoon teas on offer!)
Why Move to Switzerland?
Just liking Swiss chocolate probably isn’t quite enough reason to pack up your belongings and move there. However, there are many good reasons one might find for moving to Switzerland, and some may be quite surprising.
Whilst the clean air, low crime rates and beautiful scenery are well-known, there are many other great benefits of moving to Switzerland that are not as publicised. There are very low levels of tax in the country, and whilst you may have heard it has a high-cost of living, the low taxes balance this out. With five countries surrounding it you are also not stuck for other places to go and buy your goods.
The rich wealth of surrounding countries also means that it is the perfect place to enjoy experiencing numerous cultures. Moving to France might offer you similar opportunities, but still not as many as Switzerland. Moving to France also won’t offer you quite the same levels of health-care or potential for luxury living that Switzerland can offer.
Many Swiss people speak English too, meaning the transition of moving there should be an easy one, whilst the people are very much similar in nature to oursleves. For musicians, there are even more benefits. Not only are the stunning vistas likely to be a huge form of inspiration, but there are also often numerous grants and funds available to help those who are serious about their career.
So a move to Switzerland can offer something for everyone. And with great transport systems, you can find yourself in the best spot to experience not only the whole country but also a lot more of Europe.
Swiss Timing
Many of us think nothing of travelling to European countries such as France, Germany or Belgium for either business or leisure trips. Membership of the European Union facilitates easy travel and enables many to find employment throughout much of Europe with minimal fuss. Even visits to non European Union countries such as Switzerland are typically very straightforward and usually trouble-free.
Despite the ease of travel between these countries, the prospect of moving to Germany or moving to France involves a bigger commitment. At the best of times, moving house is a significant project. At the worst of times, it can feel one step from disaster at any point. Moving overseas clearly adds another dimension of complication through both the more complex logistics and the added difficulty of customs clearance. Moving to Switzerland places additional challenges in the form of very strict customs rules and also local laws surrounding behaviour in and around your property.
In order to ensure that any move to Europe runs smoothly, and particularly moving to a unique location such as Switzerland it is hugely beneficial to employ the services of a specialist removal firm. At European Removal Experts, we are exactly this specialist company. We are based in London where we are perfectly located to serve the British Isles in their movements of belongings both to and from Europe.
When moving to Switzerland, we can move either full loads in one easy go or smaller deliveries can be made. For smaller deliveries, we offer the capacity to share container space which ensures that the process is as cost effective as possible. It can be beneficial to not receive all of your belongings in one go and partial transport may be a clever way to achieve this when moving to Switzerland.
When utilising expert assistance, moving to Switzerland can run like clockwork.
