What should I pack when moving to Aix-en-Provence?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Aix-en-Provence to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Aix-en-Provence, France, you should pack a variety of clothing to accommodate the Mediterranean climate, including lightweight clothing for the warm summers and heavier clothing for the cooler winters. Don't forget to pack a good quality raincoat and umbrella, as the region can experience sudden showers. Pack comfortable walking shoes, as the city is best explored on foot. Also, bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. Bring all necessary documents such as your passport, visa, driver's license, and any other identification. Also, pack any important paperwork related to your move, such as rental agreements or job contracts. If you take prescription medication, bring an adequate supply along with a copy of your prescription. Pack a basic first aid kit for any minor injuries or illnesses. Bring a French phrasebook or dictionary to help with the language, as not everyone may speak English. Pack a power adapter for your electronics, as France uses a different plug type than many other countries. Don't forget to pack personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, favorite books, or small keepsakes. Lastly, pack a reusable water bottle and shopping bag, as France is environmentally conscious and charges for plastic bags at grocery stores," said another expat in Aix-en-Provence , France.
