Cover your French home and belongings with CA Britline

Under French law it is mandatory to have a civil liability insurance "assurance responsabilité civile" to cover damage to another person or property. This is included within all of our home and contents policies and is the minimum level of insurance required property owners including landlords and also tenants.

However, notaries, mortgage providers and rental agencies often insist on the presence of house insurance and refuse their services if not evidenced, so without it problems will almost certainly occur.

Of course civil liability insurance only covers damage to third parties and you will no doubt want to ensure that your own losses are covered too. Our House and Contents policies can be tailored to protect all of your property and belongings, whether you are a French resident or insuring a secondary residence or rental property.

Claims are managed directly with the Credit Agricole insurance company, Pacifica, and should be reported rapidly after the event.

You can declare your claim by connecting to your personal online banking or through the Pacifica App by clicking on the contract and then "Déclarer un sinistre".

These are fast and efficient ways to make your claim but a telephone number is also available.

Once you have sent your declaration, a member of the Insurance claims department from Pacifica will contact you to explain the next steps and answer any questions you may have.

Any future correspondence in respect of your claim will be made directly with your dedicated claims advisor.

For House & Contents and Car insurance policies, the “Loi Hamon” allows you to change your insurance provider at any time after the first year of subscription by giving just one month’s notice. 

When switching your policies to CA Britline it’s hassle-free. We will arrange everything and ensure continuity of insurance for you.
