Moving to Paris

Moving to Paris from the UK

Paris is the capital of France, with a population of around 2.1 million within the city itself. The wider Paris urban area is home to over 10.7 million people, the largest urban area in the European Union.

Paris divides into 20 arrondissements, spiralling outward from the centre. The city is known worldwide for the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and Notre-Dame Cathedral, along with its cafe culture and fashion industry. An extensive Metro network covers the city, making it straightforward to settle into once you’ve moved.

Planning Your Move to Paris

Abels runs a modern fleet of removal vehicles. Each one safely transports furniture, personal possessions and motor vehicles. Every vehicle carries a full alarm system and flat cleanable internal sides. Double-skinned walls protect furniture and limit temperature changes. Air-ride suspension keeps items steady in transit, and each vehicle carries mobile communications and driver and porter facilities.
