Greetings!
So my wife will arrive in Menton in 4 days with a VISA (visiteur) in hand, a purchased apartment (more like a "townhome" with a fenced garden) and a rental car for about 4 weeks. I will join her in 6 weeks.
This is our new home.
She would like help from someone who is American or British as her goal is to purchase a car before I arrive (hence my previous post on a car purchase). Yes, I am still interested in a Peugeot - a used one. She would like help since she does not (yet) speak French.
I do, but will not arrive until October 1st.
Thanks to my Illinois driver's license and American insurance records back to 2007 the AVIVA agent has given me an Auto policy devis (placed in the name of Mr et Mme Peterson) - so I believe if I select it and pay for it she should be able to buy the car (we are planning to pay for the car by check from our BNP Paribas account).
We have some home repairs to do as well.
Hence, the need for someone to help her (I know she does NOT want to get taken advantage of!)
And she is a "doer" no a "waiter", so she will want to start right away - not content to wait for me to arrive....
ANY suggestions? Or is there anyone on this forum that fits that bill or knows of someone (say in Menton or Roquebrune)?? It would be greatly appreciated. We have been to Menton a lot and have met few Americans there, most likely due to its location east of Monaco.
Thank you again!
