France, made navigable.
Private Client guidance for Americans and English-speaking clients moving to, buying in, or building a life in France — with particular expertise on the French Basque Coast, and Paris.
I help you make the big decisions, navigate the unfamiliar systems, find the right people and place, and handle the hundred details between I think I’m ready and this actually feels like home.
Maggie Spicer helps a discerning few live, buy, and travel well. Based on the French coast, with roots in San Francisco.
I've spent my professional life at the intersection of experience design, venture, food and hospitality — creating experiences for the brands people admire, and living the one I now help others find. I moved to France, made it home, and came to know it the way you only can from the inside.
What I offer isn't a menu of services. It's an eye and a perspective you can trust—so that wherever you're going, you never have to figure it out alone.

For Americans ready to put down roots or simply have a pied à terre in France—I help you find, understand and buy the right home on French soil as someone on your side who knows both the market and the lifestyle.
