“I ended up setting up my own company called Milieu Property. And what we do is we help international clients who wish to buy here in France, but who don't live here. Usually they don't speak the language and they need someone to just get it done for them. So our role is to act as the intermediary between international clients. And so our services really bridge that gap and provide you with the professional support that you need to execute a purchase as a foreign investor. "
