Executive Relocation Paris
A senior mobility partner for international executives moving to Paris.
Senior executives do not move countries. They are moved, accompanied, and expected to be operational on day one.
BookAndSmiles is the discreet Paris partner of HR mobility teams, private banks and family offices accompanying executives, founders and C-suite leaders to Paris.
We accept direct corporate mandates and structured assignee packages — with one bilingual interlocutor, monthly reporting and a single confidential file for the leader and their family.
Built for the assignee — and for HR.
Executive relocation lives at the intersection of two clients: the assignee, who needs a frictionless landing, and HR mobility, which needs structured reporting, a single point of contact and predictable economics. The house serves both, from one file, in two languages.

Why HR mobility teams retain us
One file, two clients
The assignee experiences a maison. HR experiences a structured monthly dossier with no surprises.
Predictable economics
Flat-fee packages or capped monthly retainers — no hidden line items, no time-sheet billing.
Bilingual at every appointment
Bank, CPAM, prefecture, OFII, school — accompanied in person, in two languages.
Discretion by default
NDAs signed before disclosure of identity. Most leaders we serve are never named publicly.
Where international executives live in Paris
Senior leaders cluster in a small number of quarters. The maison knows the buildings, the syndic, the landlords and the neighbours.
