Expert Advice On Moving To France
Moving to France has become increasingly popular with those who are looking for a new life away from all the stresses and strains of modern life in Britain. Many people who are planning on moving to France are attracted by the promise of living in a rural idyll which they may have discovered when they were on holiday.
The Baby Boomer generation are leading the way when it comes to moving abroad. They are now either retired or approaching the day when they can finish work, the prospect of selling the house now the kids have moved out and buying something smaller is an attractive one. Property prices are generally a lot lower in France than they are in Britain, particularly in rural areas, so if you are in the position where you can buy a dream home without having a mortgage around your neck.
If you are serious about relocating to France you will have planned just about everything by now. At this stage you would have consulted estate agents and solicitors, essential in any move of course, but if you are moving to France you will be aware of the differences in law relating to property sales. Another expert you may need to talk to is the person who will be transporting your belongings when you are moving to France or moving to Switzerland or anywhere else in Europe. This is where European Removal Experts come in. They will be able to deal with your move in a professional manner, leaving you stress free to begin your new life.
Moving to Europe – Trust the Removal Professionals
Thinking about moving abroad? Lots of us Brits do, especially after a great holiday. Work is increasingly global and mobile, so it’s more and more common to up sticks and do a stint overseas. No matter where you’re planning on relocating to, you might be thinking about moving to France or maybe moving to Germany, it will be a fantastic adventure. Don’t be naïve though. You’re bound to experience a bit of culture shock and a little homesickness at the very least. If you’re serious about being an expat, do your research first into the laws, customs and language of the country you intend to move to. Don’t get caught out by common pitfalls and if you need to brush up your language skills, get a head start before you leave. There are plenty of night school conversational language classes or you could even hire a private tutor.
Packing up your life in this country and moving to France or moving to Germany takes a fair bit of planning. You’re not Dick Whittington. You can’t just amble off with your knapsack to seek your fortune. It’s a bit more complicated than that. However, with the right help and a good removal company, it needn’t be a huge drama.
A professional removal company will help you pack up your home and transport your possessions safely and securely. Even valuable and delicate ones. They can move these items by boat, road or air. However they do it, you can trust them to get your possessions safely to the other end.
Moving goods across borders can be complex, so a move abroad is not quite as straightforward as just moving house in the UK. Make sure you understand the implications of what you are transporting and fill out any forms upfront to avoid your possessions being delayed at border crossings. Don’t forget to take out insurance, just in case anything goes wrong. Then once everything arrives safely in your new country you can unpack and start enjoying your new life.
Dont Make Moving Abroad Even More Stressful than it Already is
Moving house is one of the most stressful things you ever have to deal with. It’s bad enough just moving down the road, never mind leaving the UK entirely and heading abroad. No matter how far you’re going, whether you’re moving to France or moving to Switzerland, or just a few streets over, you want to settle quickly and start to make the most of your new environment.
The more possessions and items of furniture you have, the more complicated your move will be. If you don’t have a big family and you’re not moving too far, it will be pretty straightforward. You’ll be able to rope in friends and family to help you out, which is a real help. Also, you won’t have to deal with so much emotional upheaval, as you know the area and it’s all familiar territory. By going further afield and heading abroad, you’ll find so much more to contend with. Not only will not know where things are like shops and schools, you’ll have to overcome language and cultural barriers.
Moving involves so much more than just shifting boxes and furniture. A big move is a life changing experience. If you are moving to France or moving to Switzerland, or indeed any other European country, professional help from international removers is going to make the whole process a little easier.
Imagine if your treasured possessions get held up at customs or they get damaged or lost. The move will be stressful enough without these unwelcome stresses and mishaps. By enlisting the help and services of a specialist international removal company, they can handle the whole process for you. From packing up, through the completion of all paperwork and documentation, to getting your items safe and sound to the other end without any problems. Leaving you free to focus on the excitement of your new life in Europe. After all, you’ll have plenty to do. Enrolling children in school, sorting out your working arrangements and generally getting a head start so you can settle as quickly as possible.

Moving to Duisburg
Located in the western part of the German state of North Rihne-Westphalia, Duisburg is part of the Regierungsbezirk Düsseldorf metropolitan area, along with the larger city of Düsseldorf. Thanks to its excellent positioning, access to the world’s largest in-land harbor, and proximity to a major international airport, the city is a commercial and industrial hub known primarily for its steelworks.
Duisburg has a population of close to 490,000 inhabitants, and ranks as the fifteenth most populous city in the country. Over time, the settlement absorbed numerous smaller towns in the surrounding area, resulting in today’s sprawling urban development.
As a major center of the Ruhr coal mining and steelmaking area, Duisburg’s development has been closely related to heavy industry. While in the recent decades, the contribution of mining and steelmaking to the local economy has decreased, the city is still home to the last remaining blast furnaces in the Ruhr region. According to the most recent statistics, almost half of all hot metal in Germany and one third of all pig-iron is processed in Duisburg.
But Duisburg is known for more than just heavy industry. The renowned Konig Pilsener beer is produced at a large brewery outside of Duisburg, and the town is also home to a university that enrolls close to 40,000 students, ranking in the top ten universities in the country.
The city’s cultural life centers around the Deutsche Oper am Rhein, one of the most prominent German institutions of its kind, and the philharmonic orchestra that regularly tours Europe.
Duisburg’s architectural patrimony includes various landmarks, from the Inland Waterways Museum, to the 1,100-year old St Johann the Baptist church, and the modernist Micro-Electronic-Centrum. Urban explorers should be happy to learn about the Landschaftspark, a former industrial complex that is now open for visiting. For shopping and promenade, Duisburg’s residents prefer the city center and its main commercial street, the so-called “fountain mile”, as well as the city’s parks and botanical garden.
