Removals to France: The Alps
The dramatic landscape of the snow capped Alps is appealing to many people choosing to settle in France.
It may be that you are moving here to work in the tourist industry, such as popular resorts such as Chamonix, or have a job that involves freelance work (on the web for instance) and want to settle here to enjoy a slower pace of life.
The Alps is a popular place to move to for those who enjoy winter sports activities such as skiing and snowboarding in the winter, or hiking and mountaineering in the summer. The French Alps lie in the Rhone-Alpes and the Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azure regions and the main city is Grenoble which has a population of 660,000 in the metropolitan area. Although the winters in the Alps are cold, the summers can be quite pleasant.
Removals to France: Vineyards
France is famous for its wines and produces between 7-8 billion bottles of wine a year, so there is plenty of opportunity to try out the local wines once you have moved here. There are several wine producing regions in France, including the world famous Bordeaux which is known for the quality of its wines and Burgundy, which produces two types of grapes: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
France has about 27,000 wineries and for some expats the idea of owning or running their own vineyard is a dream come true. But while owning a pretty vineyard may sound idyllic, it also involves a great deal of commitment.
If you don’t fancy the hard graft, however, another way of getting involved in the wine industry is to buy part of a French vineyard, such as a few rows of vines. This means all the work is carried out on your behalf and you receive bottles of wine in return.
Removals to France: Countryside
Many people who require removals to France do so because they want to escape the madding crowd and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the countryside. France is known for its stunning landscape and there are many picturesque areas in which to settle to escape the hustle and bustle of the town or city.
Some British people choose to move to the French countryside with plans to renovate an old farmhouse and provide holiday rentals, while others dream of a chateau to do up and live in so they can enjoy a better quality of life.
If you are looking to move to the country, France’s greenest region is Franche-Comte, situated in eastern France bordering Switzerland. It is known for its rolling countryside, mountains and forests. The region is also famous for its cheeses and produces 40 million tonnes of cheese a year.
Removals to France: The Coast
The south of France is a popular with expats and tourists alike. Offering 300 days of sunshine a year, it is easy to see why people are drawn to this area of France. If you are moving to the south of France, however, be warned, the Cote d’Azure is one of the most expensive places to live outside Paris!
Another popular coastal area for British people to settle in is Poitou Charentes, in the south west of France. It has a wonderful coastline and one of the most pleasant climates in France. It is also possible to pick up a property to renovate here for as little as EUR 70,000.
Other well liked coastal regions include Brittany, situated on the west coast of France, bordered by the English Channel. Normandy is another attractive coastal region benefitting from its close proximity to the UK. It is also a cheaper area to move to compared to many other parts of France.
Removals to France: Riverside
France has some beautiful riverside areas such as the Lot Valley in the country’s south west. This is situated south of the Dordogne near the rivers Dordogne, Lot, Garonne and Tarn and is delightfully scenic.
The River Lot is the seventh longest river in France and if you are moving here, you will find plenty to do here for the whole family to enjoy. The river offers a wide variety of sporting activities including cycling along the riverside, canoeing, fishing and swimming.
