ABOUT NATHALIE
I’m Nathalie Laberinto — a French native from Limoux who spent over 35 years living in Ireland, the United States and Canada. I know what it means to start from scratch in a new country.
My career spans 25 years in international tourism — including setting up offices from the ground up for the UNWTO and coordinating large-scale events for the City of Montréal. Working in tourism means knowing how to make people feel welcome, how to anticipate needs, and how to navigate complex logistics across cultures and languages.
That’s exactly what I bring to FRENCH LIFE CONCIERGE: the ability to manage the details you don’t have time for, don’t know how to handle, or simply don’t want to deal with alone. My job is to clear the path — so yours can truly begin.
You focus on falling in love with France. I’ll take car of the rest.

WHY FRENCH LIFE CONCIERGE
The bridge
you actually need
✦
✦
“Settling in France is wonderful — until you hit your first préfecture appointment, your first EDF call, your first lease in legal French.”
True bilingual fluency
Not just language — cultural fluency. I understand both worlds and know how to navigate between them.
✦
Local, on-the-ground presence
Based in Limoux, I know the region, the institutions, and the right people to call.
Personal, not transactional
I work with a limited number of clients at a time to ensure genuinely attentive and personalised support.
✦
35 years as an expat myself
Ireland, the US, Canada — I've lived it. I bring empathy and experience that no directory can offer.
