Client Testimonials

After our first few months living in France, we realized the enormous task of having to register for the various French systems(health, tax, vehicle registration etc). We approached Chesca for assistance. After our first meeting to discuss our needs, it was plain sailing. Chesca answered all the various queries, and within a short time, all our needs were met. To be honest, we could not have done it without her! Thank you Chesca.
