Bishop's Move has a heritage of over 165 years of experience in the removals industry, and that includes Moving to France from the UK.
Moving abroad can be a daunting experience, but it doesn't have to be with Bishop’s Move. Our team undertakes weekly trips to France, and with years of combined experience, we can move you to the country with ease.
Our first move to France was undertaken by a horse drawn pantechnicon and railway. Today, our highly recognisable yellow removal vans will transport your belongings directly to the door of your new home. We can also provide advice on how to move to France after Brexit in our guide.
Over the years, France has become an increasingly popular destination for thousands of expats that are in search of a sunnier, more relaxed lifestyle. The beautiful country has much to offer, including divine agricultural scenery and a broad range of culinary delights. France, especially Paris, has some of the most renowned museums in the world, including the Louvre and the Musee d’Orsay. France is also home to the tourist destination of the French Riviera in the southeast, which benefits from an immense 300 days of sunshine a year.
A big decision expats will need to consider is whether a countryside or city lifestyle is for them. For many, a slower paced life in the countryside is desirable, whereas for others a home in the City of Love is the dream. With many businesses considering a relocation to Paris, Bishop’s Move has a dedicated Business Relocation team on hand to handle all moves to the capital city.
At Bishop’s Move we can provide a personalised quote which is tailored to your move to France. Whether you're moving for work purposes or for the general lifestyle, one of our experienced European moving consultants will be able to help. Throughout the quote process, we will answer any queries you have surrounding shipping, packing and relocation. Once everything has been discussed, we will provide you with an accurate quotation for your relocation to France.
Once you have accepted our quote, we will arrange and book a convenient date for your move to France. Depending on the scale of your move, our team of professional packers will arrive at your home, and will pack all of your belongings into our vans. Our packers at Bishop’s Move are highly skilled in the art of packing, and will ensure that all effects are transported safely. If you would prefer, we can export wrap your items (a service reserved for overseas shipping) for additional protection.
Once all items are packed and secure, Bishop’s Move will transport your belongings to France. As part of our service, the team will unpack everything for you. Our removal vans are fittest with high-tech communication and satellite tracking equipment, meaning that we can locate homes in the remotest of areas of the country.
You can still move to France after Brexit for periods of 1 to 4 years with visas and once there you can apply for permanent French Residency. If you are a UK national then you can stay in France for 90 days at a time without the need for a visa. It is still possible to move to France from the UK in 2022 but you should remember that you may need to return once your visa expires.
If you ever need to move back to the UK, we can also provide expert assistance for your relocation from France.
