I think you're underestimating just how trying a process that can be, and how alienating it is to adapt to a new culture, new food, new everything.

It all depends on individuum. I moved two countries to-date that couldn't be more culturaly and language different. I did learn languages before I moved though. Both me and my wife adapted within a week.

You're talking about two neighbouring countries, apart from language there are no major issues

Besides, I've moved to Germany, from a more distant culture than French

Right, they're practically identical... except for the language. And the culture. And the food, politics, etc... etc...
