When I arrived in France, I had only extremely basic conversational French skills, and could not even open a bank account by myself. Finding Françoise was the best thing that happened to me during the 10 months that I lived in the Pays Basque! Thanks to Françoise’s endless dedication and support, by the time I left France I was able to converse on many subjects, and was able to handle all my own banking, medical appointments, as well my business dealings with insurance and telecommunications companies.
