My DH has the opportunity to consider a move to Geneva in a couple of years and we need to ensure that this is the right thing for our family who will be 8, 5 and 2 at the time. DH's company will help with moving and pay for schooling. We know two other families, one quite close friends, who live in the area. I worked for a small time a long time ago in a French corporation in Paris and while I need to brush up on my French, I'm not starting from scratch. My DC's have started French classes in anticipation. We plan to stay for at least 5 years, probably longer.
I have been reading posts on the cost of living in France and in Switzerland and the drawbacks of living abroad.
Has anyone got any good things to say about moving abroad?
What are the things we need to consider to get the most out of the move?
What are the drawbacks we need to weigh up? Distance from friends and relatives, how our DC's feel about moving, multilingual challenges,
Do tell all....
