Holland Flowers Festival

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!)

An Easy Removal To South Of France

Moving house should be a time of joy and anticipation of the new environment and possibilities that await. This should only be amplified by not only moving house but moving country as well. At European Removal Experts we aim to keep the excitement and anticipation of moving by providing you with a thoroughly professional service that is designed to give you every confidence your belongings will arrive on time and in the exact same condition they left, even if we have provided storage options for you. As one of the UK’s best removals and storage companies we are members of certain independent organisations who ensure that we constantly strive for the best levels of quality. These include The Removers and Storers who ensure that our customers receive the highest levels of protection in the removals industry. When you choose us as your removal company, you also get this peace of mind because we are dedicated to providing a quality service on which you can always rely.

When it comes to removals to South of France, there are many different hazards to take into account. The method of transport across the channel is particularly important since ferries can be particularly rough. This is why we opt for the Eurotunnel. This not only gets you a service that can be run around the clock but it also ensures that nothing is held up due to bad weather conditions. Our vehicles also have breakdown cover across Europe which means that we can always call on assistance should there be a problem. Unlike other companies, this means that we will be able to give you an estimated time of arrival rather than all of your belongings being stuck in a potentially hazardous place somewhere.

France is a particularly good country to move to for a whole host of reasons, but one of the best cultural places to move to is Paris. The capital is quite easy to get to and with our experienced drivers we will be able to give you an exact times of arrival. We can also offer you fantastic rates on partial or small loads, even for single items. You do not need to fret about the delivery of a piano, for instance, since we have all of the experience and equipment to get it to you in perfect condition. If you are interested in a quote then you can simply click on our Free Quote Service which comes with no obligation. You will however need to have a complete list of your goods and as well as information on the size of your property. It also helps if you have an idea of the size of the load in cubic metres, although this isn’t always necessary and can be estimated. You will also need to have information about the place you are moving to, most notably which floor it is on. Those in flats will obviously require a lot more manual moving than ones who are on ground floors. Being able to park near the entrance will also affect this.

Where to Live when Moving to France?

Where to Live when Moving to France?

When moving to France, you have the choice of a diverse range of places to live. The Parisian north or the Mediterranean south? The Alpine east or the Atlantic west? Continental France is divided into four climatic regions, so it is worth considering which climate would be most favourable to you before moving to France.

  • North – Temperate. Northern France, including Paris, has a temperate climate similar to that of southern England. It is characterised by warm summers, cold winters and rainfall throughout the year.
  • East – Continental. The summers are warm and the winters are harsh, with snow and frost likely.  The low rain fall tends to fall in summer when the region receives frequent thunderstorms.
  • South – Mediterranean. Rain is scarce during the summer but when it does rain it pours, often with storms.  Frost is rare, but periods of cold windy weather can occur in late spring, brought about by the famous northerly ‘Mistral’ wind.
  • West – Oceanic. The western coast, from the Loire valley to the Pyrenees, is milder and summer days are generally very hot, while winters are rarely very cold.

Whilst it is, of course, essential to decide where exactly you plan to go when moving to France, it is also highly important to shop around for a professional, reliable and good-value removals company.
