Simplify Your Life in France – ‘Paperwork isn’t a problem’.

“I am French and understand French bureaucracy.  My friends and clients claim that I am more English than French and have an understanding and compassion for the challenges that sometimes arise when living in another country.”

I can help you in so many ways

I am French and understand French bureaucracy.  My friends and clients claim that I am more English than French and have an understanding and compassion for the challenges that sometimes arise when living in another country.

Simplify Your Life in France

Living in France is a rich and lovely experience but many things are very different to how they are in the UK. We really love paperwork and our administration can very quickly become your worst nightmare if you don’t get it right from the first step. The fact that few civil servants or even French people speak English doesn’t help !

I know the way the French administration behaves (I’ve been in it long enough!), I know what to do, when and how, I have the skills and  the network .

Paperwork isn’t a Problem

Registration with the Health cover systems (RSI – CPAM- MSA) depending on their activity

Dealing with the Tax Office (yearly Income tax forms, tax on properties, bin tax, fines etc…)

Registration as Auto entrepreneur (self-employed) or Artisan

Car registration and insurance, French  driving license

All the family events: marriage, birth, divorce, funerals…

CMU (top-up insurance) and CAF (Child and Social benefits) applications


My fees are based on the time spent, or for the more technical translations regarding the size of the document. 

If you wish to have an estimate for my services please contact me.

After studying Law at the University of Nantes I worked as a civil servant in the Department of Health (Ministère de la Santé) where I spent 20 years in various jobs as secretary and social worker.

I have learned English all along my life in my travels in the UK and also with all my English friends and I have always been very interested in the English culture, literature, way of life”

Are you thinking of moving to France or buying a holiday home or have you lived here for a while and are still struggling with French paperwork?  I think you might need me to ease your path into the French system!

I have been a fully registered  translator and  interpreter in Mid-Brittany for about ten years. 

I do all kinds of paperwork. My network from my previous job is still very alive and useful and I always keep myself aware of the changes in the French rules and regulations.

I am used to working with solicitors, barristers, bailiffs, and to translate for the police and the gendarmerie as well as for the French Courts (penal, civil, administrative, appeal)
