The Butlers

Originally from Washington D.C., the Butlers and their children are in Provence for 2 sabbatical years. Examples of the many tasks their Lifestyle Manager accomplished for them included enrolling the children in extracurricular activities, arranging to fix a leaky shower head and providing bill-payment service.

" My Lifestyle Manager is incredible! I counted on her to help my family get settled in Provence with restaurants, children's activities, shopping recommendations and meeting new friends. In a sentence, she personally introduced us to this wonderful region! We counted on her to give us the best recommendations, and she always exceeded our expectations. We trust and will remain clients of Zen in France." Julie Butler

The Fukashimas

Expatriates from Tokyo, Japan by her husband's company, Yoki and their children are enjoying life in Provence. Without much experience in French Yoki leaned on her Lifestyle Manager for translations, grocery shopping and understanding the geographical layout of her new town. Her dedicated Lifestyle Manager lead a comprehensive tour of her new town emphasizing important institutions such as the hospital, fire and police stations, post offices, local stores, etc...

"Zen in France has been a wonderful resource. My Lifestyle Manager even spoke Japanese, which was an pleasant surprise. She enrolled my husband in private French lessons and arranged for me to join an English-speaking tennis team. My children and husband count on her for random daily tasks, as well. Thank you Zen in France!" Yoko Fukashima

The Martins

Jeanne and Pierre have lived in Provence for over 40 years. As French nationals they know the lay of the land and understand how things work. But, their busy and active lifestyle didn't allow for much time to take care of daily tasks like standing in line at the Préfecture to register a new car, or waiting all morning for the dishwasher repairman to arrive. Then they found Zen in France and met their Lifestyle Manager...

"Between my husband's busy work schedule and my dealings with the children and charity activities, there never seemed to be enough time in the day. Accomplishing important, time-consuming, tasks needed to be done, there was always something more urgent to do. I heard about Zen in France from a friend and thought I'd try since no long-term contract was required. I was delighted with the level of service and enthusiasm my Lifestyle Manager provided and was even more satisfied that pending paperwork was finally completed." Jeanne Martin
