What C-H. Gerard, F. Bories, Y. Debray et T. Putine, notaires associés offers English speakers in Grasse

This Grasse office states its own languages plainly: French, English and Italian. It also states free parking, full access for reduced mobility and a lift, which in a hillside Grasse building is worth saying out loud. The address is 80 Avenue Frédéric Mistral, and the office is closed on Fridays, which catches people out. Maîtres Gerard and Putine dealt with an English will and the property ownership behind it, and another client credits the office with stopping them buying from somebody dishonest.

This is a four-partner practice and the record divides sharply along partner lines, so the useful thing to do is ask who gets your file. Gerard, Putine and Bories draw detailed praise for explaining each step, and the clerks named again and again (Franzella, Renard, Denizot, Hallermeier) do much of the answering. Against that, one seller found Maître Ménard unreachable by phone and email, with the transfer of funds forgotten for more than a week after signature. Another had a deposit tied up for seven months. A third point matters if the other side chose this office: a reviewer who was the outside party to a file describes a cold and rushed reception, and says non-clients are treated as an interruption. That is exactly the situation where instructing your own notaire alongside theirs earns its keep.
