"When packing for a move to France, it is best to consider the climate and culture of the country. Pack warm clothing, including sweaters and coats, for cooler weather or rain. Bring a variety of comfortable clothing that is also suitable for semi-formal occasions. Items such as scarves and hats are always useful in France. Include personal items such as your passport, prescription medications, documents, and important contacts. If you are using a shipping company, pack all electronics, large appliances, art, furniture, and other breakable items. Don't forget to bring personal items such as books, music, photos and keepsakes," explained one expat living in France.
