Accurate, Natural, Culturally Fluent Translations

Who am I?

Hi, I’m Guillaume — Bonjour!

I’m a native, bilingual French–English translator with over 30 years of professional experience, gained equally in France and the UK.

I run GBP Traductions, an independent translation and administrative support business based between Bergerac and Saint-Émilion in southwest France, serving clients across Europe and beyond.

I specialise in high-quality, culturally nuanced French ↔ English translations, ensuring that professional documents, contracts, and communications are translated with both linguistic precision and real-world understanding.

In addition, I provide administrative assistance to English speakers moving to or living in France, including real estate support, helping clients navigate French procedures, property transactions, and official paperwork with clarity and confidence.

Helping English Speakers Navigate French Paperwork

If you’re settling in France or already living here, I can help you understand and complete French administrative procedures, including:

– Phone calls, emails, appointments 
– Visas, Health insurance, CPAM (Carte Vitale), Driver’s License
– Car Importation & Transfers:  Support with process, importation, registration
–  Face to Face Assistance: Visits to doctors, hospitals, vets, banks,
Prefecture, Notaires
– Utilities and Subscriptions: Electricity, water, internet, phones, refuse collections, insurance
– Property: Purchase consultancy and assistance, surveys, visits, property management
– Sourcing and Managing Trades: Finding and managing trades to support your projects in France

I translate, explain, and guide you through the process so you can feel confident — and avoid the bureaucratic overwhelm.
