In 2007, I was working as a project manager in the automotive industry in Poland. When my company asked me to relocate to Paris for a project, I thought I’d be here for a year, max two years. I had no connections and no idea how to find my footing in this foreign country. I was shocked at how difficult it was to complete basic processes – renting an apartment, getting my carte vitale, even opening a bank account! I knew there had to be a better way for people to relocate to Paris, and I could make it happen.
In 2009, I joined forces with my husband and co-founded Your Friend in Paris, combining my skills as a project manager, engineer, and expat. Our goal was simple: to offer a one-stop relocation agency, making moving simple and stress-free. Since then, we’ve grown significantly, helping retirees, families, and young professionals make Paris their home.
Whether you’re curious about conquering the Parisian real estate market or need help navigating the jungle of French administration, we’ve got you covered.
After 15 years in relocation and as an expat myself I’ve learned every trick of the trade. I can’t wait to share them with you!
