Hey !

First of all, good to hear you feel like coming to France, you'll enjoy it for sure !

About working there, I dont have much idea about the working laws when you're a foreigners plus it depends where you come from.

Eitherway, you'll need a resident card to work legally in France I think..

Maybe that could help you :

Feel free to contact your ambassy in Paris, they'll definitely help you out !

About working illegally, I shouldnt recommend you that but I have to admit that it's pretty easy to get a lil job over here without legals paperworks...mostly in restaurant and bars but also house cleaner, baby sitter etc.. and fruit pickers.

Hope that would help you a least a little bit..
 
Not hard at all!

I'm Canadian, living in France (Lyon) for school for the year. You don't need an EU passport, but you do need a visa to stay for more than three months. You can get a working holiday visa, or a work visa if you've already got a job over here.

:) Good luck, and enjoy! France is fucking sweet.
