Your life in France

It is the experience that has been gained over these many years that we can share with our clients to make your new life in France that little bit less stressful.

Whatever you need assistance with, we are here to help (or can find someone who can!) as we have access to a range of professional contacts in our network.

Unless specified, our services cost 50€ per hour. Surcharges apply for any out-of-office, week-end or French national holiday appointments.

For permanent residence in France, non-Europeans are required to apply for a visa, followed by a  permanent Titre de Sejour.    For those wishing to work in France, this is a little more complex depending on the type of work you wish to undertake.   We can advise on the requirements and help with all visa and Titre de Sejour applications.  

Access to healthcare is vitaly important and we can help you with your application for your Carte Vitale and social security number.

If you need help making appointments with doctors, schools, banks, hospitals etc but are worried you may not get an English speaker on the telephone, then please contact us for help.

If your understanding of the French language is not strong and online translator apps don't seem to make sense, we can help.

We also have access to a number of Traducteurs Asserment (court-appointed translators) for recognised translations of official documents needed for legal and French administrative purposes. 

Translations of non-official letters or other documents, or the writing of letters/emails can be provided by one of our team.

Translators in-person or by telephone for appointments can be provided by one of our team.

We provide a service using the ANTS website to register your car or to update or exchange your driving licence.

Finding the correct qualified and insured person to help with your renovations is important, so we work alongside Artisan Central (for pre-checked tradespeople) as well as having our own home renovation and maintenance business providing qualified and experienced trades for all your needs.

With vast experience in the building industry we can help manage your renovation project in your absence.

If you need to find an English speaking solicitor or accountant, we can put you in touch with a professional in your area.
