Bridging Cultures. Clarifying Communication.

Professional translations & support for life in France.

Accurate, Natural, Culturally Fluent Translations

Who am I?

Hi, I’m Guillaume — a native, bilingual and qualified translator with over 30 years of professional experience split evenly between France and the UK.

Having lived over 25 years in each country, I translate with a deep understanding of both languages, both cultures, and the subtle nuances that make communication truly effective.

Today, I run my own business, GBP Traductions, based between Bergerac and Saint-Émilion in southwest France, serving clients across Europe and beyond.

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:

– Appointments (Impots, Bank, Trades) 
– Residency applications & visas
– Healthcare registration (CPAM / Ameli)
–  Utilities, insurance, and banking
– Vehicle registration & import documents
– Official letters, forms, and certificates

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