Strasbourg, the crossroads of Europe: a city that welcomes excellence
There is no other city in Europe where you come across so many, in the same neighborhood, a Finnish diplomat, a Brazilian lawyer at the Council of Europe, a Japanese engineer at a Rhineland automobile supplier, and a Swiss financial director installed to manage a Strasbourg subsidiary. Strasbourg is a cosmopolitan city that stands out for the intensity of its international trade — and for the complexity that this represents for those who settle there.
At Adopt a Conciergerie, we have designed our relocation service to eliminate all the friction of this transition — from the first administrative procedures to the school registration of children, including the search for the ideal accommodation.
Our relocation service: what we take care of
Searching for and securing housing
Finding an apartment or a house in Strasbourg when you arrive from abroad, without a French bank account, without a local network and with tight deadlines — it's a real challenge. We know it by heart and we overcome it for you. Visit on your behalf if you are not yet on site, verification of lease compliance, creation of the tenant file with supporting documents recognized by demanding owners, negotiation of conditions if necessary.
Administrative and prefectural procedures
Registration at the prefecture, application for a residence permit (talent passport, family reunification, seconded employee), opening of a CPAM file, affiliation with social security, support for opening a bank account in establishments that know our network. We will not leave you alone with the French administrations.
Children’s schooling
The European School of Strasbourg, the Lycée International des Pontonniers, the Franco-German and Franco-English bilingual schools: we know the establishments, their admission criteria, their deadlines and their application requirements. We support you in the choice best suited to each child and throughout the entire registration procedure.
Integration into the Strasbourg fabric
A well-established expatriate is an expatriate who knows the right addresses, who has access to cultural life, who can count on trusted craftsmen and an available general practitioner. We share with you our confidential address book – the one we reserve for our members – so that Strasbourg quickly becomes your city.
Neighborhoods that correspond to a demanding profile
- Neustadt: the district most sought after by our customers. Imperial architecture listed by UNESCO, quality shopping streets, proximity to all institutions. The price to pay to live there is a selectivity of the owners which makes professional support almost essential.
- Wacken — European Parliament: the institutions district. Contemporary residential buildings, quiet, parking, proximity to diplomatic services. Very popular with European civil servants who favor practicality over centrality.
- Robertsau: the election of families. Houses with gardens, neighborhood of embassies and official residences, international French school nearby, village atmosphere in the city.
Why use Adopte un Conciergerie for your relocation
Our difference isn't in what we do — it's in how we do it. We treat each relocation as if it were that of a loved one: with personal involvement, anticipation ofs difficulties and commitment to the result. Our customers don't manage their installation — we manage it for them, with regular progress reporting and full availability.
FAQ — Relocation in Strasbourg
In which languages does your relocation service operate?
French, English and German fluently. We can also coordinate interpreters for less widely used languages as part of specific administrative procedures.
Can you support relocation from abroad, before arriving in France?
This is our specialty. We start the work before your departure: selection and visit of accommodation on your behalf, preparation of administrative files remotely, coordination with your international mover. When you arrive, your accommodation is ready, your procedures have been initiated.
Do you also support departures (outgoing relocation)?
Yes. Termination of lease, return of security deposit, closure of subscriptions and contracts, international move, unregistration from French administrations: we manage the exit with as much care as the entry.
Is your service compatible with employer support?
Yes. We regularly work in coordination with the HR departments and mobility departments of large groups. We issue our invoices in the required format and can provide the reporting necessary to cover the cost of relocation.
How long does relocation support last on average in Strasbourg?
From 4 to 12 weeks depending on the complexity of the situation (nationality, family composition, imposed deadlines). We define a realistic timetable with you from our first meeting.
