France Made Easy Bridging the gap between French and English
What makes me different?
Perhaps not a lot to be honest…

There are many services like mine in France, some better than others, some great, some a bit of a rip-off. The difficulty for you, as a prospective client, is that all you see is a website, probably similar to various others. You would be best really to choose one in the area where you live, have a second home, or where you are looking to buy. You will be considering the price too. My charges start at 25 euros/hour for admin work, translation etc, which is very competitive but probably not the cheapest you will find. If in doubt, why not contact me, we can have a chat, by phone or email, which won't cost you a penny, and then you can decide whether to come back to me or not.

There are also a few things I won't do for you..

I won't do anything illegal.
I won't lie on your behalf.
I won't do anything unless I feel it's to your benefit that I do it.
I won't do anything unless I'm sure of what I'm doing. This may mean I need to spend time researching. If this is the case I'll warn you first and explain what I need to do, why I need to do it and how long it might take.
