Romance
It has become popular for romance and it is dubbed a romantic country. The capital city of the country Paris is nicknamed a city of love. But one fact that many people do not know about French people is that they do not go into date as other people do. Rather friends, family members, relatives, and lovers have dinners in which romantic etiquette is brought in to constitute an essential part of the dinner. People into relationship bring it home by introducing their partners to their parents and family definitely during dinner party and this should be done before any relationship is taken seriously.
Language
If you relocate to France from UK your effort to speak French will definitely be appreciated by French people. If you ever lack words while speaking, it is much likely that the required word is baguette which has a multiple meanings in France. It can mean a long loaf of bread, a magic wand, a walking stick, an architectural moulding, a rod, a gem and many others.
Queuing
The queuing system has no match as it is so modern. Normally, there is a complete lack of order in French queue and it will take only a mean looking face to introduce order in queues in the country. Men and women are on their own when they are in the banks to cash their cheques or when they gather to purchase stamps. Be ready to be elbowed and to elbow someone.
Food
The French people have health culinary traditions and they consume more of freshly produced foods. Some of the renowned chefs across the globe are from the country. Normally, the French people take only bread or pastries for their breakfast. There are no fruit, toast, cereals or yogurt which are only provided after dinner.

Each year we provide many French companies with our cheap one way removal van hire from France to the UK, last minute Paris to London urgent delivery and transport of wine on pallets.
Art
France is replete with art. The impressionist art movement of the 20th century originated in France.

Some of the important artists in the country include Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Claude Monet and Paul Cezanne. The art galleries are richly built and well organised that they constitute impressive art piece in themselves. One of the most famous art centres is the Pompidou Centre in Paris which has awesome post-modern, hi-tech structure that has turned the architectural world upside down.
Customs
The French people have their unique greetings. In the morning, afternoon and evening, the customary greetings are bon matin, bonjour and bon soir respectively. The French also include titles of the people they are talking to or greeting. The traditional titles are Monsieur meaning Mr. Madame meaning Mrs. and Mademoiselle for a young lady (miss). When moving to France with no family of friends you should try to get known French customs well. The pronouns tu or vous which means you are not used in the same circumstance. Tu which is the singular form is the right pronoun to be used for people that are very familiar with you while vous is used for people that are not familiar with you. Vous which is more formal can also be used to refer to your seniors while tu which is more informal can be used to refer to a junior. Before you refer to a companion as too, you have to wait for the companion to request for that. Unlike in most countries, the French people send cards to their loved ones, friends, neighbours, colleagues and others during New Year celebration and the giving of cards can be done on any day in January and not during Christmas.

Good afternoon
I am looking for a quote to transport some of the content of our house but not the full content. We are purchasing a flat packed kitchen and 100cm oven, which we want transported, as well as a bed (wooden frame so breaks down). Also up for transport would be a 2 seater sofa, and a number of packing boxes depending on space and cost. The kitchen is the major item.
We are looking at the possibility of hiring a LWB van from the UK to France so wanted to see the comparative cost.
If there is little/no difference in price for a larger moving van, we can include other items then now rather than later.
We would be happy to be present both ends to assist and there is ample parking at both ends right outside the address.
I have put the moving date above but the arrival date is probably more important. I would like the delivery to be made on Sunday 11th august or early Monday 10th August. The pick up can be made any earlier date after the 27th July. We will be moving the remainder of our house contents in March 2020.
