"Relocate Ici was recommended to us by the previous owners of our French property. A year down the line, Samantha Bottomley at Relocate Ici has been a wonderful help and support to us at several points during the process of setting up our holiday home in France. As we spend most of our time back in the UK, it has been good to know that someone as efficient and reliable as Samantha is on the end of the phone to advise us and point us in the right direction – whether it’s finding us fantastic people to help with the maintenance of the house in our absence, or dealing with an emergency with the water supply. Our French is still rather basic, and so Samantha’s assistance is invaluable to help tackle the various systems, forms and processes, all of which are alien to us. More recently, Sam has become involved in helping us develop a new business venture in France: ‘The Little English Theatre’, which will bring outdoor theatre to Tourists in the Charente and beyond. We look forward to working closely with Relocate Ici as they help us move closer to our dream of relocating permanently."
Helen & Stephan, The Little English Theatre
"We have been members of Relocate Ici for 5 years and during this time we have felt that their experience and knowledge of the French language, social and tax systems most helpful.
The French lessons are very helpful i.e. to enable you to request appointments, do your shopping and at least hold a reasonable conversation with your neighbours.
We shall be renewing our membership again this year as there is always something that occurs when you least expect it i.e. emergency hospital admissions, electricity breakdown and other similar misfortunes.
It would have been very difficult for us if we had not had the support from Relocate Ici as only Malcolm spoke schoolboy French and I none at all. We also had no family or friends in the area but met Sam and her family who llive in our commune, to guide us through the red tape."
"Thanks for all your help over the past couple of years. Moving to and living in a foreign country can be worrying at times. and it's very reassuring to know that help is just an email or phone call away, whether it's for tax returns, strange emails about our Auto Entrepreneur or just a letter we can't understand!
We're also enjoying your French language classes, they're striking just the right balance for us and it is good to meet like-minded people in the same situation.
Keep up the good work!" Mike & Maria
"We were put in touch with Relocate as new comers to France .
On our visit to the offices in St Jean de Angely we found Samantha
Bottomley ready to assist us with various tax forms and also accompany us to the office for health matters etc.
The service will benefit anyone arriving and not knowing the next step to becoming a permanent resident here.
We have found the service provided at Relocate and managed by Samantha Bottomley most helpful and does make getting into the french system less daunting." Geraldine & Donald
"If you need help with anything French call Sam at Relocate Ici for immediate economic assistance. We had a wedding here in 2010 and Sam's help was invaluable for caterers, flowers, cars, accommodation etc.." Robert & Lynnette
"We joined Relocate Ici just over 3 years ago and Sam helped us with the purchase of the house. Since then she has helped us in a range of situations from sorting out tax to leisure activities . French lessons , in a relaxed environment, are available through Relocate Ici . Sam is always very approachable and ready to help." Jane & Egan
"Since 2006 Relocate Ici has supported me in many ways following my permanent move to France, initially with invaluable French lessons. The mature and culturally experienced capability has helped me in a wide variety of situations and needs including assisting my entry into the French healthcare system, providing critical interpreting support, facilitating a refresher first aid course and giving helpful advice on French organisations and medical practitioners to name but a few. Worthy of high praise in my opinion so, I say, why make life difficult when the friendly expertise of Relocate Ici is there! "
