Move to France like you've done it before with the France Navigator.

That's what the app gives you. It starts wherever you are tonight and takes you to a French passport: all the steps in the order they actually happen. Each figure is dated and traced back to its official source. Built by two Frenchmen who file these dossiers every week for people like you.

It's late. You have eleven tabs open.

One is a service-public page you have been half-translating for twenty minutes. One is a Reddit thread from 2019. One is a Facebook group where somebody's cousin has strong opinions about the tax treaty.

You opened the laptop to find out if this is even possible for someone like you.

You're closing it with more questions than you started with.

Where are you with this?

Who's coming?

What can't you get a straight answer on?

You've probably already watched them

Raina and Jason started Baguette Bound in 2023 and it has become one of the first places Americans go for advice on this move. They test every feature of the app, and keep testing it as it changes.

Why we built it

We see the same handful of things every month. The wrong visa filed. A refusal over proof of funds that was easy to show. A house sold in October rather than March.

From people who used it to decide and then to move

Courtney G.Visitor Long-Stay Visa

i bought this before i had decided anything, just to find out if france was even realistic for me. ran my own numbers through the tax and cost tools in one evening and finally got a straight answer instead of a forum argument. by the time i said yes i already knew what it would cost and what came first

MRMegan R.Bought before deciding, now in Montpellier, Feb 5, 2026

What sold me is that it hands you the whole move as a sequence. I always knew my next three tasks and what depended on what. I did not miss a single deadline, because nothing was left to memory.

DKDaniel KranstTalent route, Paris, March 9, 2026

The school enrollment dates alone were worth it. We would have landed in August and found out we had missed the window for the older one. It also caught that our rental file needed a guarantor we did not have.

PTPriya T.Chicago to Lyon, two kids, June 8, 2026

I was on the fence for about a year, mostly because nobody could tell me what the IRS side would look like once I was living in France. Seeing my real numbers laid out, both countries side by side, is what made the decision easy.

Before you buy

I haven't decided yet. Is it too early to buy this?+

It's the best possible time. The first two phases exist to answer that exact question. Which routes you'd qualify for. What the move costs against your real income. What you'd owe on both sides. If the honest answer turns out to be no you'll know in an evening rather than in month four. The other 48 modules keep for whenever you come back to it.

Can't I find all of this for free online?+

You can. That's what people do for four months. Every rule lives on a French government site spread across nine agencies. Nothing tells you which parts apply to you or what order to do them in. You're paying for the filtering and the sequencing.

Will it fit my situation?+

Those three questions further up were a short version of the profile. Inside it asks more: your routes, your household, where you're thinking of landing, roughly when. The plan rebuilds around your answers. Somebody weighing a visitor visa in Montpellier and a Talent hire already booked into Paris get different tasks, different deadlines, different numbers. Not sure yet is an answer the app accepts and you can change any of it later.

How current is the information?+

Every figure connects to its official source and re-verifies every month. Each module carries the date it was last checked. One click takes you to the page it came from on service-public or irs.gov.

Who has looked at this apart from you?+

Baguette Bound, our official partner. Raina and Jason have been moving Americans to France since 2023. The figures already come from the government sites, so their job is the other half: they test each feature to make sure it is accurate, current and easy to use, from the position of people who answer these questions for real clients every week. Shane Clark, a US Series 65 adviser, does the same on the American money side. Neither of them writes the app. Their channel is here if you want to judge them before you take their word for it.

Why not just hire a relocation agency?+

You can. It usually runs into the thousands. One hour with an immigration lawyer costs more than this whole thing. Agencies also start from the assumption that you're going so they're no help with the part you're stuck on. And the support ends when the engagement does.

Is this a subscription?+

No. You pay once. Nothing to cancel and no tier above it.

What if it isn't for me?+

14 days money back guarantee. Open everything and run it against your real numbers. If it isn't right email us. No form and no interview.

How long do I keep access and does it save my progress?+

For life and yes. Nothing expires and everything saves as you go. Close the tab in April and come back in September. You'll land on the same task.

So. Could you actually do this?

You know how the next six months go if nothing changes. Same tabs. Same thread. Same question sitting at the back of your head. Open it tonight instead. By the end of the evening you'll have an answer whichever way it falls.
