Thinking of Moving to France

Thinking of Moving to France

Thousands of British people have moved for a new life in Europe over the last twenty years or so, and if you are thinking of starting a new life in the sun, you may be considering moving to France. As anyone who has been there will tell you, France is a country which offers you everything from fantastic weather in the south to gorgeous scenery in the Alps and Pyrenees, as well as other regions such as Provence or Limousine.

One of the reasons why relocating to France to start a new life has become so popular can be directly attributed to the author Peter Mayall, who wrote A Year in Provence in the late eighties. This was an account of his life with his family when they moved to the region and proved to be a best seller, as did the follow up book Tojours Provence, which was published three years later. Mayall’s story of his idyllic lifestyle was so alluring that thousands of Brits decided to sell up and live the dream themselves. If you are thinking of moving to rural France, there is something you should be aware of.

For example, you may find that if you are working on your new home, your neighbours will turn up and offer to help you. This is great on one level, but be aware that they will expect the favour returned when they need some help on their property. As long as you bear this in mind, moving to France should be a great experience for you and your family.

Considerations When Relocating Abroad

If you’re thinking of relocating to France, Spain or indeed any Western European country; there are a few essential aspects which you will need to consider before you actually up-sticks and wave goodbye to Blighty.

Language
Although many people on the Continent now speak English, there are just as many who do not (or will not). Therefore, you will find it very beneficial to learn the language spoken in your destination country as it will allow you to eat in restaurants, shop in markets and generally mingle with the locals with much greater success.

Climate
Although Western Europe’s climate is not drastically different to that of the UK; there are some parts of the Continent which frequently experience quite extreme weather conditions. Certainly some areas of France, Spain, Portugal and Italy can be very hot in the summer months, so you will need to be sure that you and your family will be able to endure such extremes before you move.

Moving
Regardless of whether you’re moving to France, Germany or wherever; perhaps the most important consideration of all is that of how you will move your furniture and belongings. Thankfully, we here at European Removal Experts can help greatly in this respect as we specialise in moving people’s belongings from all over the UK to countries in Western Europe.
