Expat relocation resources
Planning your new life abroad can feel overwhelming. Having recently made the leap to France ourselves, we offer direct guidance via email and text messaging to help you navigate every step of your move with confidence.
How to support your move
From practical paperwork to finding a home, we help you overcome the most common hurdles expats face when moving to France in the next 6 to 24 months by answering your questions and offering recommendations based on the resources we used in the process.
Housing and leases
Decide where to begin your search, arrange a rental or lease, set up utilities, and establish your home base in France.
Visas and logistics
Navigate the French visa process, understand cost of living estimates, and overcome early language barriers with proven advice.
Everyday living
Learn what to expect on a day-to-day basis, from shipping household goods and computers to settling smoothly into French culture.
Fresh, firsthand relocation experience
We just completed all the initial hurdles: conquering the visa process, securing a French rental, selling our U.S. home from abroad, shipping our computers and goods, and adapting to daily life. You get modern, realistic advice from people who just did it.
Personalized support and trusted resources
We work directly with you via responsive email to answer your pressing questions. We help connect you directly to the vendors, tools, and relocation services we used to make our move seamless.
