English-speaking broker — French Riviera · Provence · all of France
Your English-speaking insurance broker in the South of France
Moving to — or already living on — the French Riviera, in Provence or anywhere in the South of France, and not fluent in French? You don't have to face French insurance paperwork alone. I find you the right cover and explain every step in clear English.
Who I am
A real broker — not a call centre
I'm Myrtille, an independent insurance broker based in the Var, in the heart of Provence. I don't work for any single insurer: I compare 50+ companies and recommend only what genuinely fits you. Everything can be handled remotely — by phone, video call or email — and entirely in English. If an on-site visit is needed (to insure a home or a business), I cover the Var, the French Riviera (Côte d'Azur) and the Bouches-du-Rhône.
What I can insure
Cover for your life in France
Whether you've relocated for good or own a holiday home on the French Riviera or in Provence, here's where I help most.
Home & Property
Main residence, holiday home or rental (landlord / PNO). The right multi-risk home cover, explained — without the fine-print surprises.
Car & Vehicles
Insuring a French-plated car — or importing your own? I sort the right motor cover, including for newcomers with a foreign driving history.
Health Insurance
Private health cover or a top-up "mutuelle" to complement the French system — essential if you're not yet covered or want better reimbursements.
Mortgage / Borrower
Buying property in France? French law (loi Lemoine) lets you choose your own loan insurance — often for big savings versus the bank's offer.
Also running a business or self-employed in France? I cover professional liability, premises, income protection and more for expat entrepreneurs.

1 English, start to finish
Every conversation, document and explanation in clear English. I translate the French insurance maze so you understand exactly what you're signing.

3 Local & remote
Based in the Var, I know the region — and I work remotely across all of France. Wherever you are, we can work together.
FAQ
Your questions, answered
Not with me. I handle the whole process in English — quotes, paperwork, signing and claims — and I explain how French insurance and admin actually work so nothing gets lost in translation.
Absolutely. Insuring a second home or holiday property in France is one of my most common requests. We can arrange everything remotely; I only need a few details about the property.
Yes — entirely. Quotes, subscription, claims and renewals can all be done by phone, video call or email, with electronic signature. You never need to travel. If an on-site visit helps, I cover the Var, the French Riviera (Côte d'Azur) and the Bouches-du-Rhône.
Yes. EURL M.A.V Courtage is registered with ORIAS under number 24 005 154 (verifiable on orias.fr) and bound by the French insurance distribution rules (DDA), including a formal duty of advice.
For most personal insurance, my advice costs you nothing extra — I'm paid by the insurer through commission, and you pay the same premium as going direct. For certain business or complex cases, any fee is always agreed transparently and in writing beforehand.
