Removals to Wuppertal

The German city of Wuppertal might be most famous for its monorail or “floating tram”, but it should be equally recognized for giving the whole world two of the most widely used products of today, namely the drug commonly known as Aspirin and the equally common household appliance known as the Kobold vacuum cleaner. In fact, the company that patented Aspirin has survived to this day, and is currently a huge pharmaceutical company, Bayer AG.

The city itself, located in North Rhine-Westphalia, cradled in the valley of the Wupper River, is no less impressive in size, counting about 350 thousand inhabitants and standing as the biggest urban settlement in the Bergisches Land. It is an incredibly green city, so rich in parks and woodlands that such green areas actually constitute approximately two-thirds of its total area. Which makes it very easy for anyone looking for a short respite from the world of concrete to reach any of the said green areas, as, from any point in the city, a park or woodland alley is only minutes away.

Surprisingly enough, though, the city also remains an important industrial unit, with companies operating in the field of metallurgy, textiles, electronics, printing equipment, and pharmaceuticals, among others. It is also home to institutes and institutions of note, such as the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy, the University of Wuppertal, famous for being the second German university to receive a supercomputer (the ALiCEnext), and the European Institute for International Economic Relations.

The city provides both visitors and inhabitants with numerous attractions, ranging from technological wonders that are more than one hundred years old, to its 4500 buildings classified as national monuments, to famous cultural highlights such as museums and concert halls. Also worth mentioning are the municipal botanical garden and the extensive Burgholz arboretum, the city Zoo, an attractively landscaped park inhabited by over 4500 animals from all corners of the world, the XVIII century museum house dedicated to Friedrich Engels, a sculpture park, a dance theatre, as well as the Stadthalle concert hall, remarkable for both its architecture and its excellent acoustics. Last, but not least, is the suspended monorail that was set up in 1901 and still functions today, unparalleled in the whole world.

Moving to Île-de-France

The most populated and wealthiest region of France is Ile-de-France meaning “Island of France”. The region was created back in 1961 as the “District of Paris Region” and then renamed in 1976 as Ile-de-France. At the same time, the administrative status that the region had has been aligned by following the guide of the other administrative regions in France created back in 1972. Although the name is now recognized officially, some lingering feelings still remain attached to the name from before, and as a result of that, people still refer to Ile-de-France sometimes at Region Parisienne or Paris Region. The region mainly consists of the Paris metropolitan area and that is another reason why the old name still sticks to the region.
Ile-de-France as stated before is the most populated region in France, reaching to a total of 11.7 million inhabitants and rising. This rise is referred to as “Franciliens”. This word has been used since the 1980’s when it was created to refer specifically to this kind of situation. The number of inhabitants Ile-de-France has is easily comparable to that of the state of Ohio in U.S. The population number even exceeds other countries such as Finland, Belgium, Portugal, Greece, Austria, Sweden or Norway. The massive population is ranked as third in the European Union in regards with country subdivisions right after Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia.
If you’ve ever wanted to move to Ile-de-France and you didn’t have any reasons to do so, just think of all the economical and social opportunities are waiting for you there. Don’t hesitate any more, relocate to Ile-de-France to start a new life!

Moving to Poitou-Charentes

Poitou-Charentes, a frontier region in south-western France, is a very young province, established in 1956 and encompassing most of the former Poitou area, plus some smaller territories from the south. Some consider it the land of Cognac, as it is the southern part of this region that provides optimal conditions for the cultivation of the exact type of grapes required for the production of this fine, savoury spirit. No less famous is the Marais Poitevin, a sizeable wetland dubbed the “Green Venice” of France, or the Futuroscope in Poitiers, one of the largest leisure parks in France. It is bordered by Pays de la Loire to the north, Centre and Limousin to the east, Aquitaine to the south and the Atlantic Ocean to the west.
Poitou-Charentes is thought to be the region that had the highest contribution to the settlement of North America by the French, as it was mainly immigrants from this part of France that founded what is now New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Quebec or Newfoundland, amongst others. The process of colonization took place during the XVII and XVIII century, even though the year 1755 brought a massive expulsion of the French by the British, who pushed them northwards.
Poitou-Charentes, which spans over the central part of the Atlantic coastal plan, continued inland with an area of gentle hills, is centred on the ancient city of Poitiers, which still stands as its capital, and is further organized into four departments: Charente, renowned for the butter and the Pineaufortified wine manufactured here, but especially for the Cognac; Charente-Maritime, which includes the town of Rochefort, one of France’s critical naval bases; Deux-Sèvres, named after the two rivers that have their origins here, SèvreNantaise and SèvreNiortaise; and Vienne, home to the capital, Poitiers, as well as to a XI century Romanesque church, the Abbey Church of Saint-Savin-sur-Gartempe, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Not the least important of the attractions in Poitou-Charentes is the Marais Poitevin, an extended marshland that constitutes a choice destination for bird-watching or general outdoor adventures, or provides tourists with numerous other options of spending their free time, from guided tours in boats or horse-drawn carriages to canoeing, hiking or cycling.

Removals to France - Removals to Rhone Alpes - Removals Companies London UK

Moving to Rhône-Alpes

Rhône-Alpes is one of the border regions of France, located in the south-eastern part of the country, and taking its name from the two geographical landmarks in the region, the river Rhône and the magnificent Alps mountain range. Its French neighbours are the regions Bourgogne, Franche-Comté, Auvergne, Languedoc-Roussillon, and Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. The eastern border with Italy and Switzerland is marked by the west end of the Alps, a part that also includes their highest peak, the Mont Blanc.
By far the most important city in this region is Lyon, second only to Paris in terms of size and population. In fact, Lyon, along with other two major cities in this region, Grenoble and Saint-Étienne, is one of the economic hearts of the region, concentrating upwards of 1.5 million people in the city itself and surrounding satellite towns. Another city worthy of note is Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, a choice tourist resort since the beginning of the XX century.
The Rhône-Alpes region, one of high logistic and economic importance for France – actually ranking sixth in terms of economic development amongst all the other European regions- is subdivided into eight departments: Ain, a major transit area for national and international commodities; Ardèche, corresponding to the former province of Vivarais; Drôme, part of the former province of Dauphiné and home to the infamous courtesan Diane de Poitiers; Isère, which bears the same name as the French ship used for transporting the Statue of Liberty across the Atlantic; Loire, crossed from north to south by the homonym river; Rhône, situated at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers; Savoie, boasting the deepest lake located entirely on the territory of France, namely Lac du Bourget; and Haute-Savoie, host of the first Winter Olympic Games, held here in 1924 in Chamonix.
The Rhône-Alpes region has a thriving economic life, relying partly on agriculture, partly on a great diversity of industries, and partly on tourism. People come here to enjoy the breath-taking sceneries, to ski, to hike, to visit cultural landmarks such as Grenoble, Saint-Étienne, Lyon– a UNESCO world heritage site, to study at the renowned universities of Lyon or Grenoble, or to savour the fine French cuisine and equally fine wines that are so well represented here.
