What do I need to know before moving to Orleans?

"Before moving to Orleans in France, expats should be aware that the city is located in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. It has a moderate climate with mild weather in the winter and hot summers. Expats should also familiarize themselves with the public transportation options available, which include bus, bicycle, train and taxi. Expats may also want to research the area, the local culture and etiquette, as the people of Orleans have their own culture and traditions. Additionally, Orleans is a diverse city and has a vibrant night-life, so expats should familiarize themselves with the restaurants and entertainment venues open in the city before their arrival. Finally, it is important to ensure that all the required documents and paperwork have been obtained before moving to Orleans as it will guarantee a smoother transition," said a member in Orleans, France, France.

"The housing and neighborhoods south of the Loire river is more expensive but are nicer. When deciding where to live, think about the traffic you will face daily to get to and from work. All rental contracts in France allow the renter to get out with three month notice to the owner. If the owner wants to remove the tenant, he has to have a legimate reason such as non-payment of rent or he wants to move into the property himself. He can't just arbitrarily force you out even if he sells the property to another person. You can stay as long as your contract which is either 3 or 6 years. Read the book by David Hampshire entitled "Buying a Home in France"," remarked another expat who made the move to Orleans, France.
