Your Personal Guide to
Life in France
I’m Christie, the founder of My French Secretary. My journey with France began as a child, when my family moved to a quiet village in the French countryside. Growing up immersed in the local culture, I didn’t just learn the language—I adopted it as my own. Those years gave me a deep-rooted understanding of the French way of life and a fluency that goes far beyond textbooks.
After returning to the UK in my late teens, I gained a dual perspective. I saw firsthand how much people admire the French lifestyle, but I also saw how easily that dream can be weighed down by the "wall" of French bureaucracy.
Bridging the Gap With over a decade of professional experience in French administration and customer service, I created My French Secretary to be the resource I knew expats needed.

"Christie's service has been excellent.
Her prices are reasonable and she gets the job done quickly with me hardly lifting a finger.

"Christie at My French Secretary was fantastic to work with. She takes real care with her work and approaches things with great attention to detail. She has helped me with various admin, including setting up a French phone number, vets in France for my guinea pigs, contacting the French authorities for my visa validation and creating a substantial dossier for my French visa. She was organised, proactive, and made everything feel much more manageable. I’m really pleased I chose to work with her and would definitely recommend her to anyone needing support with French paperwork or settling in."
