I research and write the practical guides on French broadband and mobile plans for English speakers settling in France — breaking down telecom offers into clear, actionable advice and keeping every article up to date as providers and plans change.
About
I joined Selectra's English editorial team to focus on what I know best: French telecom. I research and compare every major broadband and mobile offer, keeping track of promotions, price changes, and provider coverage so the guides stay accurate. I speak English, French and Spanish, which means I can access primary sources in multiple languages and verify information directly with providers. As a French native covering telecom for an English-speaking audience, I write practical, jargon-free guides that cut through the complexity — only what I've verified, updated whenever something changes.
