Moving to France or buying a property here is a wonderful project — but it can quickly become stressful when you don’t fully speak the language or understand how things work.
French administration, real estate procedures, appointments, contracts and daily logistics can feel overwhelming, even for motivated and well-prepared people.
You don’t have to do it alone.
Your Personal French Companion is a premium, personalized service designed for international clients who want calm, clarity and trusted support while living, relocating or buying property in France.
We are not an agency, not a call center, and not a remote assistant.
We are real people on the ground, by your side, helping you navigate every step of your project — linguistically, practically and culturally.
We are a friendly, professional couple passionate about helping international visitors, future residents, and property buyers navigate life in France with confidence and ease.
Eliane holds a Bachelor’s degree in Private Law, a Master’s in Corporate Law, and a Master’s in Labor Law. Before dedicating herself to language education, she gained valuable experience over two years working in a law firm. For the past eight years, she has been teaching French to English speakers, combining structure and clarity with warmth and encouragement. Through this work, she has also guided many anglophone clients through the experience of relocating to France — from everyday life logistics to understanding cultural nuances.
Benjamin, originally trained in banking, brings eight years of experience in the financial sector and an additional three years as a telecommunications expert. His practical, analytical approach and calm demeanor bring balance and reassurance to the companion support we offer.
Together, we focus on patience, conviviality, and cultural insight — helping you not only with language and administrative tasks, but also with the French way of doing things. Whether it’s accompanying you to appointments, explaining contracts, or simply helping you feel at home, we are here to support you step by step with clarity, calm, and a personal touch.

I had the pleasure of spending two weeks with Eliane in her home while taking an immersive French language course — at the same time I was looking to purchase a small apartment in Avignon. So, I decided to call on her for that too. I can’t overstate how invaluable her guidance was during that process.
Eliane is extraordinarily efficient, detail-oriented, and proactive. She understands how to navigate the many layers of French bureaucracy — the kind that can be overwhelming even for capable professionals. Her background in law was especially reassuring; she anticipated issues before they came up, handled logistics seamlessly, and helped me accomplish tasks that would have taken me weeks on my own.
She coordinated everything — from setting up utilities and internet accounts to assisting with driver’s license transfers and deliveries. She’s the kind of person you can rely on completely: organized, trustworthy, and unflappable.
Having come from a U.S. corporate background and purchased several properties before, I consider myself competent and experienced—but her support in France truly made all the difference. Trust is paramount when navigating a new country, and that’s exactly what Eliane delivers, time and again.
I recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking not just language immersion, but genuine guidance and partnership in making life in France a smooth, confident transition.
I never felt like “another client” but more like being accompanied and helped by devoted friends. I would recommand to anyone feeling overwhelmed by the process.
We’re used to doing everything ourselves, but in France that can quickly become exhausting. Having someone managing everything on our behalf was invaluable.
France can be a beautiful place to live — especially when you feel supported, understood and guided.
Your Personal French Companion is here to help you move forward with clarity, confidence and peace of mind.
