UK to France move

Hello,
I'm new here. I have a duel citizenship US/Switzerland. I have passports for both. My husband has duel citizenship UK/Ireland. He has a UK passport, but not an Irish passport yet unfortunately. We are living in the UK and plan on moving to Strasbourg before Brexit on March 29th. Probably will be going at the end of Feb. Since we won't really be established there yet with jobs, etc., will there be a problem for my husband? What I have read is that UK expats in France will be able to stay if they show that they are established and have been residing there for some time. We have considered Germany but have not looked into those rules yet. Thank you for your time!

If either of you have an eu passport, you can both stay anywhere in the eu. I'd work on that Irish one ASAP.

Thanks Sergios,
Just to correct myself, husband actually doesn't have Irish citizenship yet but is eligible to apply and it's his next step. My Swiss passport won't give me quite the same access (at least not for my husband) as an EU passport, I don't think.

Nothing wrong with Switzerland, if you can afford it. Good luck.

Yes, that's our longer term plan as I have cousins (and wonderful childhood memories) there, though not quite affordable for us yet! But being an hour or so away will be really nice. Thank you so much for your help, this is a great site.
