The guide to moving to France

The guide to moving to France!

A holiday in France is certainly different. We laugh at the peculiarities of the French administration and dream about the quality of life.

However, being confronted with the French administration and the closure of shops and offices between 12 noon and 2 pm can be a culture shock :-)

You must plan your move to France carefully :-)

The essential steps for a successful move to France:

– Take French lessons: most French people don’t master English

– Get quotes from removal companies 3 months before the big departure: don’t forget to think about storage if you’re looking for a furnished apartment

– Make copies of all your important documents from the country you’re coming from

– Try to get rid of your car because importing a foreign car is complicated

– Open a bank account as soon as you arrive in France by presenting your passport and proof of residence in France

– Remember to take care of your pets so that they can travel safely (up-to-date vaccines, microchip and passport)

– Inform the tax authorities of the country you’re leaving in order to be in good standing, then register with the French tax authorities.

– Call the French Touch Paris team to help you find your Home Sweet Home with confidence and integrate you smoothly J
