We believe these trips are more than just a scouting opportunity; they are part of the process of envisioning your new life abroad. Planning begins with a one-hour call to discuss the locations in France that interest you, your vision for your future life in France, and any questions you have about living here. After the call, you will receive a detailed scouting trip plan and hotel booking proposal. We will do a 30 minute call to review your itinerary and finalize hotel selections. You will then receive a guide on living in France and what to consider during your scouting journey. Upon return from your trip, we will do a 30 minute call to debrief on your visits and help you choose your new home.
