Renestance

If you're moving to France, there's a extremely good chance that navigating the numerous French bureaucratic mazes will send your head into a spin. Renestance is a super remedy for this - knowledgable and friendly staff have helped us with specific problems and I really do not think we could have done it without them. Bravo, team!!

Nicole at Renestance has been so helpful in many aspects of my move to France - everything was processed smoothly and in really good timescale. Highly recommended.

I had a great initial meeting with Sarah, who was both professional, knowledgeable and friendly. She had good advice and points to ponder as we make our decisions about potentially moving to France next year.

Helped us with every detail of our family’s move to the South of France! Our move would have been impossible without them!

I was able to exchange my UK driving licence for a French one, with ease, simplicity and speed. Nicole was readily available when I needed her help. For others wishing to do the same, I would highly recommend this company to help you.

Cela à été un plaisir de travailler avec LIZZIE THÉRET .Tout à été tres simple et rapide, avec beaucoup de professionnalisme et d’humanisme. Elle a su nous faire rencontrer avec Mia des Etat Unis. Mia est bien accompagnée pour son installation en France, et moi je suis ravie. Une belle rencontre !

I would recommend Renestance for assistance with purchasing a home unless (1) you are physically in France during the ENTIRE lengthy purchase process, (2) you speak French at least at a B2 level -- upper intermediate, and (3) you already have a network of known service providers (banker, notaire, etc.). In other words, there really is no substitute for having someone on the ground.

The staff at Renestance helped me with the renewal of our 10-Year Resident cards. The staff with whom I worked were helpful, extremely efficient and supportive! I highly recommend them!

I would REALLY recommend Renestance to help you in every step of the way when applying for your Carte Vitales! Our story: we are a family of four and we first turned to a local french company for help with this process. I was reassured that they, since they helped me to start up my own business here in France, knew what they were doing with regards to our CV applications. During the first year, we had to send our complete dossier twice and after several phonecalls, I received an email from CPAM and they wanted me to resend the complete dossier by email as well. I did that. Called up a few weeks later and they still couldn't find us in the system. Yes, we could still go to the doctor when we needed and paid ourselves for the, what we think, great french medical care. Every time though a bunch of papers had to be filled in and we had to keep all of them as we knew that we would get reimbursed later once we had our CV's. The months kept on ticking and the local french company did nothing despite us asking a million times. They did not seem to know what to do, nor understand the french bureaucracy! A friend recommended Nicole at Renestance when I was about to explode out of frustration! I so wished that we would have used them from the very start! Very professional and all of our queries were soon adressed by Renestance in a very strategic, experienced and actually positive way as well. I think with regards to the french administration, yes you can be lucky to end up talking to a person who can help you and then things might be fine but if your dossier falls in the wrong hands, its really not Voilà! So my advice, use the professionals for things like this! Here in France there will always be plenty of other things to put your energy into =0)) More fun things!
