What should I pack when moving to Dordogne?

"When moving to Dordogne, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for all seasons, as the region experiences a temperate climate with warm summers and cool winters. Include both light and heavy clothing, as well as waterproof items for rainy days. Don't forget comfortable walking shoes for exploring the beautiful countryside and historic towns. Pack all your essential documents, including your passport, visa documents, driver's license, medical records, and any necessary work or study permits. It's also a good idea to bring copies of these documents. If you take prescription medication, bring an adequate supply along with a copy of your prescription. Also, pack a basic first aid kit with band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and pain relievers. Bring your electronic devices, such as your laptop, smartphone, and e-reader, along with their chargers. Don't forget to pack a power adapter for French outlets. Pack personal hygiene items and toiletries, although keep in mind that you can also buy these in France. If you have specific brands that you prefer, it might be a good idea to bring them along. If you're planning to cook, you might want to bring some specialty kitchen items that might be hard to find in France. However, remember that Dordogne is famous for its food markets, so you'll be able to buy most kitchen essentials locally. Bring some personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, small keepsakes, or your favorite books. Lastly, consider packing a French phrasebook or dictionary to help you navigate the language, especially if you're not yet fluent in French," explained one expat living in Dordogne, France.
