YOUR PERSONALISED RELOCATION PROPOSAL
Moving to France,
made easy.
An end-to-end relocation service for your new life in France. From visa to Carte Vitale, from finding your region to opening your bank account — we handle every detail so you can focus on the excitement of your new beginning.
French Connections HCB helps over 2,000 families relocate to France every year, working with clients from across the globe who are moving for work, retirement, lifestyle, or family reasons. We believe in transparent pricing, clear service levels, and giving you the freedom to choose the right level of support for your needs — whether that’s a self-guided approach or fully managed, white-glove service.
PROCESS
Relocation made simple
"Relocating to France? We'll Guide You Every Step of the Way." From paperwork to settling in, our streamlined process ensures you can focus on starting your new life with confidence.
STEP 1
Plan
The earlier you talk to us the better. During an initial one-to-one consultation, we map out every aspect of your relocation and create a timeline. From visa application and residency paperwork to healthcare registration, accommodation and financial planning, we create a plan so you always know what lies ahead.
STEP 2
Move
While you focus on the excitement of arriving in France, our team handles all the essential administrative tasks — registering your car, setting you up with a phone and a bank account, connecting utilities, enrolling you with a local doctor, dentist, vet or school. Everything you need to feel at home.
STEP 3
Settle
Once you've settled in, we'll register you in the French healthcare system, exchange your driver's licence, help you search for a property, introduce you to a financial advisor or tax accountant, and apply for permanent residency if that's what you want. All part of our ongoing support service.
