Making your arrival in Paris simple, smooth, and stress-free

My name is Carole. I’ve lived in Paris for 25 years and worked as a professional translator for over 20 years. Throughout my personal and professional journey, I’ve often been approached by people struggling to settle into life in Paris.
That’s why I created my relocation service: to be a reassuring, knowledgeable presence — a bridge to help you find your feet and feel at home in Paris.

  • You're abroad or far from Paris and can't travel to search for and visit your future home?

    No worries — I’ll take care of everything! I search for properties that best match your needs and preferences, visit them on your behalf, and send you detailed video tours along with written reports. I can also receive your moving boxes or new furniture, attend the inventory check, and handle the key handover.

  • Struggling with French bureaucracy? Feeling overwhelmed by all the formalities — or unsure how to register your child for crèche or school?

    I’ll guide you through it all. I act as your liaison for all administrative steps: setting up electricity, gas, internet or mobile phone contracts, opening a bank account, school enrolment, and more.

  • The French language is a barrier? Not confident writing formal letters or contacting local institutions?

    I ’ve got that covered too.

    I can translate all your documents and correspondence (EN <> FR), help you write or proofread official letters, emails, or any written materials you may need.


  • Worried about getting lost in your new neighbourhood — or simply looking for some good local recommendations?

    Let me help you feel at home, fast.

    I create a personalised neighbourhood guide with essential info and addresses — from transport options to grocery shops, cafés, restaurants, parks and more — so you can quickly find your bearings and settle in comfortably.
