The directory · vetted, not paid-for placement

English-speaking pros in France, worth trusting

When you need a real professional — a currency broker, a notaire, an accountant, a builder who turns up — the hard part isn't finding one, it's finding a good one who'll deal with you in English. This is our growing directory of people we'd actually point our own family to.

🌱 Founding directory. We're curating the first vetted listings now — the cards below marked Example show the format. If you run a business British families in France would thank us for, or you've been served brilliantly by someone, tell us below. We only list people who meet the standard.

What "vetted" means here

We don't sell top spots to the highest bidder — that's how you end up with a directory full of whoever paid most. A listing means:

Run a business worth listing?

If British families in France would be glad we sent them your way, apply for a vetted listing. Paid, once you're approved — never pay-to-rank, and we'll only take you on if you meet the standard.

Been looked after by someone great?

The best listings come from you. Tell us who sorted you out — the notaire who explained it all, the builder who actually finished — and we'll go and vet them for the directory.

Listings are independent businesses, not Pimpernel, and inclusion is a recommendation based on our own checks — not a guarantee of any outcome, and not regulated advice. Always do your own due diligence and confirm any professional's registration and insurance before you engage them. Where we earn a referral from a listed partner we mark it clearly; it never buys a better position or changes who we'd recommend. Tell us if a listed pro falls short and we'll act on it.
