A clarity workshop for anyone considering a move to France
Live Workshop · 90 Minutes
You've been thinking about moving to France. Now let's get you there.
In one hour, you'll know exactly what your move to France could look like — your visa pathway, what it will cost, and where you belong.
PLUS you walk away with my:
10 years of living and navigating France as a foreigner
5 years of French HR and visa mobility experience
Insider knowledge that would cost you hundreds in a private consulting session
By the end of this workshop, you will:
Know which visa pathway applies to your situation.
Have a realistic picture of what your move will cost.
Understand which region of France fits your lifestyle and budget.
Know your next concrete step.
No hype.
No pressure.
No forced outcome.
This workshop is for you if:
You want to move to France but have no idea where to start.
You've been in a research spiral for months and feel confused.
You're not ready for a personalised 1:1 strategy session. You want the lay of the land first, before you invest in a full plan.
You want honest information
You want someone who actually works inside the French system to walk you through it.
You're in your 30s or 40s and wondering if the timing, the logistics, or the visa options still make sense for you at this stage of life. Yes, this workshop covers you too.
How it works
A live, 90-minute guided workshop led by a non-EU woman living in France, with firsthand experience and a background in HR.
What we cover
Your Why
Before we get into logistics, we get clear on what's actually pulling you toward France. This is a filter, not a pep talk.
Moving in your 40s? We'll talk honestly about what changes at this stage and what doesn't.
Visa Overview
Three realistic pathways based on your situation: student, job seeker, or entrepreneur/freelancer. The honest version of each (including the one thing most people overlook when they apply). Already mid-career? We'll flag what the job seeker and entrepreneur routes actually look like for someone at your stage.
Costs and Regions
What it actually costs to live in different parts of France. How to match a region to your lifestyle, your budget, and your temperament. We'll go beyond Paris. Thinking about a slower pace of life? We'll cover the regions that make sense if you're looking to actually settle, not just land.
Live Q&A (20 mins)
Bring your specific questions. This is where the general becomes personal. Not everything has a one-size-fits-all answer, and this is where we get into the nuance.
What People Say

About Me
I'm Diedre.
I've moved to France twice, lived abroad five times across four continents, and solo travelled to 27 countries. I also work in French HR handling visa and mobility cases.
I'm not here to sell you on France. I'm here to give you an honest picture of what relocating actually involves. From someone who's lived it and works inside the system every day.
FAQ
What if I can't attend live? You'll get the replay. Watch it on your own time, as many times as you need.
Is this a 1:1 session? No. This is a group workshop. For a personalised strategy built around your specific situation, that's Your France Blueprint, my relocation 1:1 strategy session
I've already done a lot of research. Is this still useful? If you're already deep in the research and ready to build your personal plan, the Blueprint is probably the better investment. This workshop is for people who need the overview first.
I'm in my 40s, is this relevant for me? Yes. Each section touches on what the move looks like also for people relocating later in life - the visa considerations, the regional choices, the practical realities.
Will you cover my specific visa situation? The workshop covers the three most common pathways at an overview level. If you want to go deeper on your specific circumstances, the Q&A is a good starting point, and the Blueprint takes it further.
What currency is the price in? Euros. One payment. Discounts for early bird.

Liz, USA
Diedre is a wonderful resource for guidance and detailed information. After our session, I had clear and specific next steps and a better idea of my all options for moving to France (including the real pros and cons of each). She is so approachable and engaging, as well, which made communication feel comfortable and really useful. I'm glad I took the time to speak with her and gain the insights and guidance she provided.

Porcha, JA-USA
I’m so happy I followed Diedre! She’s humble, helpful, and answered every travel question. She’s honest and transparent, and through our consultation I learned exactly how to move from another country and start living abroad with confidence.
Olivia, Ja
When I decided to solo travel to Cuba and see more of the world, I had absolutely no idea how I'd accomplish such a huge task. Then I found Diedre... she was the first person who showed me that travel doesn’t have to be expensive or out of reach.
Zinzi
[Expat Solo Traveller here] During my first months in India, Diedre broke down cultural differences I could appreciate. She shared her experiences abroad & how she overcame them. It made me feel less alone & gave me perspective to relocate.
