“Success used to mean prestigious buildings.
Today it means
the life we’ve built in France.”
“When I received my French nationality,
I realised how far this journey had taken me.”
"I didn’t want to lose my career.
Architecture is part of who I am.”
“Seeing my first planning permission approved and my site board go up with my name on it felt incredible.”
“When I registered with the Ordre des Architectes and saw my work on the panel, I thought: wow, look what I’ve achieved.”
“I never imagined in a million years that I’d be making buildings in France.”
“I didn’t speak any French when I arrived,
but I was determined to learn.”
Unlike many guests who had to change professional paths after relocating, Liz moved her business with her.
If her story of transplanting a career to the South of France resonates with you, you may also enjoy Nita's transfer of a highly regulated architect career to France, Lizzy, whose jazz career continues to light up Riviera nights, Christine, a pioneer of Pilates barre and nutrition on the Riviera, Rachael, who waited for her profession to become legal in France so she could transpose it, and Flavia, whose advice as a transition and career specialist became stronger through relocation.
