Personal Assistant · Brazilian Clients
Your personal assistant in Paris,
for clients from Brazil.
Book & Smile is the personal assistant Brazilian clients rely on in Paris: one trusted, bilingual person who handles visa-free 90-day stays planned properly, apostilled and sworn-translated documents, banking and CPAM files for longer stays, Portuguese-speaking doctors, and the Brazilian community's schools and addresses. Open every day, 8:00 to 20:00 Paris time — and 24/7 for members. You ask. We handle it.
São Paulo is 4 to 5 hours behind Paris. Paris keeps its own hours, its own language and its own paperwork — and none of it waits for you to arrive.
From Brazil, every French file — the visa appointment, the bank, the doctor, the school, the préfecture — takes a phone call in French during Paris hours, then a follow-up, then another. The distance turns simple tasks into weeks.
What if one trusted person in Paris carried the whole file for you, in your language, on your schedule?
What we handle for Brazilian clients
- Before you land — visa appointments, invitation letters, apostilled and translated documents, the arrival plan confirmed in writing
- French administration — préfecture and ANEF, OFII, CPAM and carte Vitale, impôts, insurance — filed, followed up, closed
- Banking — the right appointment, the complete documentation, the account opened without a second trip
- Health — English-speaking (or your language) doctors, specialists and hospitals booked; medical stays organised end to end
- Family — schooling and university files, activities, household staff and suppliers engaged properly
- Everyday life — reservations, drivers, sourcing, gifts, the Paris houses and the tables you want — one message, handled

Apostilles, sworn translations, CPAM — words I never wanted to learn. Now they arrive as 'done' in a message, in Portuguese if I ask.

FAQ
Do you work with clients based in Brazil before they arrive in Paris?
Yes. Most Brazilian clients brief us from Brazil, by WhatsApp or call, weeks before arriving. Visa appointments, documents, banking and the arrival itinerary are prepared so that Paris is operational on day one.
What languages do you work in?
We work in English and French, with Portuguese-speaking contacts on request. France is handled in French; you are updated in writing in the language you choose.
What are your hours, given the time difference?
São Paulo is 4 to 5 hours behind Paris. We are open every day, 8:00 to 20:00 Paris time, for new requests — and 24/7 for members, so an urgent matter is never left to the next morning.
How does the engagement work, and is it discreet?
One-off assistance for a single file, or a monthly membership (Essential, Executive, Private Office) for ongoing support. Terms are agreed in a private consultation. NDA on request; one dedicated point of contact.
