Búzios · Brasil

Your home in Búzios, in the right hands.

Builders, doctors, lawyers, schools — chosen one by one, followed through to the end.

Who we are

It always starts with the right people.

We are a French-Brazilian couple: Audrey, who is French, has lived in Búzios for more than ten years; Renan is Brazilian. Together we know the town from the inside: its neighbourhoods, its habits, its professionals — and above all the people we trust.

Here, a great deal still runs on someone's word. A good builder, an attentive doctor, a paediatrician who speaks English, a serious lawyer, someone you would hand your keys to: those people rarely appear in any directory. That network is built over time, through encounters and experience.

We created Au Large to put that ground knowledge at your disposal: identifying the right people, making the exchanges easier and, whenever you wish, taking on part of the coordination.

Whether you are settling in Búzios, buying a house here or simply want someone you can count on locally, we are your local presence. In French, English, Spanish or Portuguese.

Trust

A network built over time, one person at a time.

How we accompany you

Understand. Identify. Introduce.

From there, everything depends on the plan you choose and on what you actually need.

01
Understand
A conversation to map out your situation: your home, your family, your needs, your priorities and what worries you.
02
Identify
We find the people and professionals in our network who suit your situation — and explain why them.
03
Introduce
We put you in touch, smooth the exchanges when language gets in the way and help arrange the meetings.

A house, a doctor, a school, a lawyer, a car, a vet, a piece of paperwork — or something else entirely.

Month after month, we build your circle in Búzios with you: your builders, your doctor, your caretaker, your routines. A network that ends up being yours.

So you are in good hands.

Our plans

As much presence as you want.
