A British family arriving at a French home

The free arrival planner

Your move to France, on one personalised plan.

Everyone tells you moving to France is a mountain of admin — nobody tells you the order. Answer six quick questions and we'll build you a sequenced, phased plan tailored to your situation: what to do before you leave, in your first weeks, in your first months, and across your first year — with every step linked straight to a full Pimpernel guide.

It's free, there's nothing to sign up for, and unlike a generic checklist it changes based on your answers. When you're done, you can print it, revise it, or ask a real person to check it.

This is practical guidance to sequence your move, not legal or financial advice. Rules change and situations have wrinkles a questionnaire can't see — for the consequential steps, confirm against the official source and, where it matters, have a human check your plan.
