Settling In Services
Our services don’t end the moment your feet have landed on French ground, all the legal documentation has been dealt with and you have moved in to your new home. We are dedicated to helping you fit right into your new life in the South of France as easily as possible and our settling in services as soon as you arrive.
Working together, we will create a tailored settling-in plan where we will help with everything from sourcing new or second-hand furniture to finding and signing up to your new doctor’s surgery. Knowing how important keeping connected with home will be in the early days, we will liaise with French tradesmen to help get Wi-Fi access and phone connections set up before you move into your home to eliminate any stress of sourcing this after your arrival.
Aside from the important administrative tasks, we are here to be your friend. After having worked with you through the full process, we make it a priority to get to know our clients on a personal level, so this stage of the moving process is as tailored to you as possible. If you are looking for a specialised personal service, our personal assistant service could be perfect.
Area Orientation
Moving abroad is an exciting step, but always comes with its own set of challenges and it’s often the little things that make a new country feel like home. Getting familiar with the area is an important part of settling into your new lifestyle and my area orientation service is focused on helping you ease into new surroundings without the burden of administrative tasks or navigating the maze that French streets can so often be.
As one of our most useful services, area orientation can not only be a great way of getting to know the area and finding your bearings, but also a foolproof way of sourcing the best amenities and suppliers. As natives of the Cote D’Azur, we are familiar with the surrounding areas and can be your guiding hands with everything from finding the best supermarkets, to showing you the quickest routes to the nearest hospital or your childrens’ new school.
