Our team
Patsy Valentin is British-born and educated but arrived in France in 1986 and has had a long and fruitful relationship with the country ever since. Her knowledge and experience of France and the French - culture, bureaucracy, idiosyncrasies, language, and customs - make her the perfect bilingual partner if you are setting out on a new French venture, whether commercial or personal.
She has a successful track record gained over many years of working with an international high-profile client base. She is used to managing a wide range of commercial assignments and is able to influence and co-ordinate activity at all corporate levels and across a range of disciplines.
She grasps new ideas quickly and helps her clients find solutions by carefully considering options and the short and long-term implications of decisions. She shows common sense, initiative and the drive to make things happen.
Patsy and her team are adaptable and love a challenge. Their sole focus is on projects which aim to make your transition to a French way of life easier.
Maxime Pfefferlé is Anglo/Swiss and perfectly bilingual French/English. He is highly motivated and adaptable and just makes things happen. His analytic mind, keen mathematical competencies, and excellent communication skills are all put to valuable use for clients’ transition into French life.
“With French bureaucracy being notoriously difficult, it is a huge relief to have found Patsy to navigate the system for us.”
