Relocation & Expat Services in Paris

01

From plane ticket to fully operational, in under three weeks.

Moving to Paris from abroad is rarely the romantic experience the postcards promise. Between a French bank that asks for documents you don't have, a landlord who wants a guarantor you've never heard of, and a CPAM number that takes months to arrive, most newcomers spend their first quarter losing momentum on logistics. We compress that quarter into a few weeks. Every step is anticipated, every document prepared in advance, every appointment attended bilingually with you.

03

Who we serve.

Senior hires at multinationals being relocated by HR. Entrepreneurs setting up an EU presence. INSEAD MBA students arriving in Fontainebleau or Paris. Researchers joining the Sorbonne, Pasteur or Sciences Po. Families on a 2- to 5-year posting. Each profile has its own administrative critical path; we build it for you before you land.

04

Three weeks, not three months.

Most of the friction in French bureaucracy is sequencing: you can't open a bank account without an address, you can't get an address without a lease, you can't get a lease without a guarantor or proof of income, you can't get CPAM without a bank IBAN. We unblock the sequence by pre-assembling the right documents, accompanying you to the right appointments in the right order, and translating French administrative letters as they arrive. The result is consistent across clients: full operational status in under three weeks, even for non-EU nationals.
