Jobs in France

France is one of the most desirable places in the world to work abroad as an expat. As one of the world’s wealthiest countries with a very high standard of living, France has always been a centrally influential cultural, economic, and political force in European affairs. Not to mention it is one of the most scenically beautiful nations in the world, with sprawling hills and vineyards spanning from the magnificent cliffs of Normandy in the West to the towering Alps in the East. Working in France can truly be the experience of a lifetime whatever your field of interest.

Oui, maintenant je suis française,

by: Nelmerie Reinecke - South AfricaProgram: Au Pair Abroad with World Voyage

After falling in love with France in 2014 I've had the opportunity to come back in 2022 to be an au pair for the absolute best family. I loved every second of my time here and will be trying to get back here as soon as possible to create my life. World voyage gives us the best opportunities to learn about things we don't know like other cultures, languages and see if "the grass is greener on the other side". I am really grateful for thus opportunity that was given to me.

A Guide to Working Abroad in France

Best Cities for Expats

There are many places to find work in France, including away from the cities. Living in the rural areas of France and working in a small town or in the countryside can be a sublime experience for expats. France is a large and diverse country, so do your research carefully when determining what kind of environment you want to work and live in.

Paris is the obvious place to start when seeking jobs in France. The City of Love is an ideal place to find work in France, however long your stay and whatever your area of employment. Today Paris is one of the most globally connected cities on the planet and one of the most influential in terms of film, fashion, literature, and artistic excellence.

Marseilles, Lyon, and Toulouse, are other popular cities for jobs abroad in France that offer expats a more authentically French experience for working abroad in France, as they are not so iconically global. Lyon is known as the Capital of Lights because of the annual Fête des Lumières festival, Marseilles is France’s largest commercial port city sitting pristinely on the Mediterranean coast, and Toulouse is one of the primary French hubs of education.
