Relocate to France

Return to Provence to Launch Your Innovative New Project

Were you born or raised in Provence and have an interest in returning to the area? Or are you French citizen, a Francophone, or a Francophile who wants to enjoy the life and work advantages offered by Provence? And would you like to create a business in a region with a dynamic economy and enormous growth potential? If so, Provence Promotion will provide you with dedicated custom support to help launch your company in the Aix-Marseille-Provence Metropolis.

Created in 2002, Provence Promotion’s Home Sweet Home program was developed with the help of a network of contacts that were established during the agency’s international trade delegations. Initially, the program’s main target was French engineers and researchers who had left the country to pursue an international career and now wanted to return to France. Now, the overreaching goal of the program is to repatriate brainpower to France and bring ambitious entrepreneurs to Provence as a way to further develop the area economy.
