Get my assistant

A personal assistant in France for everything the language and the system make hard

Everything gets harder when you do not speak the language or know the system. A French assistant of your own makes the calls, writes the emails, finds and wins your apartment and keeps the paperwork moving, whether you have landed already or you are still packing.

You came for the life.
We will take the paperwork.

Nobody moves to France for the phone calls. You came for the Saturday market, the bakery that starts recognising you, the light in the afternoon, the feeling that life slowed down a little.

That version of France is entirely available to you. It just happens to sit behind a wall of forms, phone calls and unwritten rules that nobody warned you about. So we put a French person on your side of the wall.

Someone who takes the admin off your hands, explains the codes as you go, and is there when a day in a new country feels heavier than it should. That matters most in the first months, before you have your own people here.

Your assistant handles the French. You get the France.

What your assistant does

One person in France working through your list, and beside you while everything is still new.
Maxime

Send me the letter you can't make sense of, the call you keep putting off, the question you'd feel silly asking anyone else. We talk in English, I handle the French, and you're never on your own with it.

Maxime, your assistant in France

One assistant who stays yours

One French person who knows your file, your city, your dates and your landlord's name, and who is still the same person next month. No ticket numbers, no starting over.

Calls and emails in French

Agencies, the préfecture, CPAM, your bank, EDF, the school. We call, we write, we follow up until there is a real answer, then tell you what they said.

Your apartment found and argued for

A rental file built the way French agencies read it, listings you can win, outreach in French, and your case made for you when a foreign income gives them pause.

Every letter read and answered

Photograph the envelope and send it over. You get what it says, what it means, what happens next, and the reply ready for your signature.

Appointments booked around you

Bank, doctor, sworn translator, driving licence exchange, school enrolment. Booked, confirmed, in your calendar with what to bring.

The unwritten rules explained

Tu or vous, the bonjour that comes before any question, why a landlord wants three payslips. You learn how things work here as you go, with far fewer awkward moments.

Someone in your corner

The everyday questions, the doubts, the days when nothing goes to plan. In the first months especially, you have a person who knows your situation, keeps things in perspective and helps you find your feet.

An answer within one business day

Everything you send gets a written reply, usually much sooner than that. When something is urgent we move on it first and say so.

From the first message to the keys

Housing is where newcomers lose the most weeks, so your assistant climbs all six steps for you. Already settled in? Those hours go to the rest of your French life instead.
The briefYour budget, city and dates, turned into what the market really offers.
The dossierYour income presented so an agency can say yes in one read.
The outreachWe write and call in French, and chase the ones who go quiet.
The defenceWhen your file is questioned, we make the case that reassures.
The leaseRead line by line before you sign, with the clauses explained.
The keysPower, internet, insurance and proof of address, live on day one.

Wherever you are in the move

Same assistant, same care. Only the first week looks different.

  • Bank appointment, phone plan and first admin steps lined up for week one
  • Documents gathered and translated ahead of the moment you need them

  • Straight answers before you go, from which neighbourhood suits you to what surprises newcomers most

Already in France

  • The apartment search restarted, with someone making your case
  • The pile of French mail read and answered
  • CPAM, CAF, préfecture, impôts, licence and school followed through to done

  • A French person to ask whenever something here makes no sense

How two moves went

Montpellier

A retired couple. Three months.

They signed up six weeks before their flight, mostly for the apartment. Their rental file was rebuilt around pension statements and savings instead of payslips, and two agencies that had ignored their emails answered once the assistant called them in French. They landed to four viewings and signed a lease on day five, after it had been read with them clause by clause.

Then came the rest of the first weeks: the bank appointment, electricity, internet and home insurance, the visa validation at OFII, a CPAM registration that stalled and had to be chased. Every brown envelope they photographed came back explained, usually the same day. The carte Vitale still took months, and the viewings were theirs to do.

Lyon

A family already in France. Four months.

They were buried in paperwork. Over four months the assistant enrolled their two children in school, cantine and périscolaire forms included, got a CAF file accepted after two rejections, and handled the driving licence exchange that had been put off for a long time. When the heating failed for three weeks, a letter to the landlord finally got it fixed.

Along the way they learned why the school wanted an attestation d’assurance scolaire, how to talk to the gardienne, when to use vous. Answers came within one business day, with no phone line for urgent cases, and for their first French tax return the assistant said it was not tax advice and booked an accountant, an extra cost. After month four they stopped, able to handle most things themselves.

What people say after working with us

Reviews on Google
Maxime found me an apartment in a beautiful neighborhood in less than a week after I engaged his services.
CCourtney G.France, May 2026
SShannonUnited States, May 2026

After over a month of searching with no response from agencies that didn't accept American incomes, I engaged Maxime at Easy France Now. He was available within minutes of me reaching out and an awesome support through the whole ordeal. He clearly knows how the French system works from the inside.

CCourtney G.France, May 2026

He helped make sure that my utilities were on and functioning, and he provided extended concierge services to help me get my child enrolled in school and deal with French admin. They advocate for their clients and fight the fight for them, so that clients can relax and live their French dream life.

Common questions

Who exactly is my assistant?+
A French national on the EasyFranceNow team, trained by Maxime and Aurelio on how files from abroad get accepted here, and on everything else a new life in France involves. You get one named person who stays with you for the whole subscription, and Maxime and Aurelio step in on the hard cases.
Can I ask about things that are not paperwork?+
Please do. Where to find a doctor who speaks English, how the school year works, what to bring when the neighbours invite you for an apéro, what is normal here and what is not. A lot of what makes the first months hard is not on any form, and your assistant is there for that part too.
What is the difference between two weeks and a month?+
The service is identical. Two weeks suits a short burst, like a housing push or a landing week. A month is the better value once you know you will want the help beyond that. Both renew automatically until you stop them.
Is there a limit on how much I can ask for?+
No task limit. We ask for fair use, meaning a personal assistant rather than a full-time employee, so up to about 10 hours of active work a week. That is far more than a housing search and a French life usually take. If you need more, we will say so and quote it.
Is housing really included?+
Yes: the brief, the dossier, the outreach in French, the follow-ups, making your case, reading the lease and switching everything on. What is not included is standing in for you at viewings. In some cities we can arrange that, so ask us.
Can you guarantee I find an apartment?+
No, and be wary of anyone who does. What we do guarantee is that your file is presented properly and argued for, that no agency is left unanswered, and that you always know where every lead stands.
I have not moved yet. Does it make sense to start now?+
It is the best moment. The housing pipeline, the bank appointment and the paperwork all take weeks to line up. Starting before you land turns your first week in France into viewings and signatures rather than searching.
What about my visa application?+
Your assistant helps you gather and organise documents. The visa dossier itself is a separate product: the dossier review checks your file line by line before you submit it.
Is this legal or tax advice?+
No. It is practical, hands-on help from people who know the system. When you need a lawyer, an accountant or a notaire, we say so and, if you like, find one and book it. Prices are in US dollars and taxes may apply at checkout.
How do I stop?+
From the link in your Stripe receipt, in two clicks, with no call. You keep the service until the end of the period you paid for.
How are my documents handled?+
Anything sensitive goes through a private, end-to-end encrypted link rather than email. It is used only for your file and deleted when you leave.

Let someone else do the French part
