What people are saying…
“We are in the process of completely changing our lives with our move to France and Cécile and her team have been amazingly helpful. She is kind, knowledgeable and responsive. I cannot express how reassuring it has been to have her advice and counsel. I feel we have a true friend in France and look forward to working with her even more as we complete our transition.”
— N. Monacelli, Google review
“….When I called her with questions about French administration, she drove hours to sit with me at the office to work out the issue. “Above and beyond" does not begin to describe her dedication. She has found a housekeeper, dog walker, housesitter and certified translator (you’ll need one of these!) for me in no time at all. AND she followed up with, “What’s the next thing you are feeling ready to do?” She listens, reassures, and understands the stress and doubts that come with starting a new life abroad.”
— D. Wyskiel, Google review excerpt
“I am not exactly sure how to express my fondness, gratitude and appreciation for this amazing woman and her team at Haven in France. Anyone thinking about changing their lifestyle and settling in France should race to her door and you will be welcomed with not only a warm smile but a genuine knack for local French culture and business. Whether it’s a visit or a big move with needs for a visa and more….this is your lady!….”
