What you actually get
Every guide is still here, free. But the heart of Pimpernel is a plan that's yours: it works out what you need to do, watches every deadline, and always tells you the next thing. No spreadsheets, no forum-trawling, no 3am panic over a form.
Good morning, Will.

What Pimpernel is
We're a British family who made the move ourselves and live it every day in south-west France, admin and all. The guides are human-written, checked against the official sources and kept current, and the French is no bluff: written by someone who holds a degree in the language and speaks it fluently, so we can read the small print, hold our own across a notaire's desk, and tell you what it means in plain English. Moving to France is a mountain of paperwork in a language that isn't yours. We've climbed it, and we can help you up it too.
So give us a steer. Answer a few quick questions and we'll point you to the one thing to do next, free more often than not.
1 · Where are you on the road to France?
2 · What's the biggest thing on your plate?
3 · How hands-on do you want to be?
