Au Pair in France
If you are a national of a country that is not a member of the EEA*,
you must obtain a visa or permit in order to work as an au pair in
France. This will allow you to work in France for one year. However, if
you hold a passport from a country that is a member of the EEA*, you are
able to work without restriction within member countries.
France
currently has working holiday agreements with Canada, New Zealand and
Australia. These programs allow au pairs from these countries to work in
France provided they are coming to France to travel and are using their au
pair job to fund their travelling. Au pairs can enter these programs if
they are aged 18-30, hold a valid passport and return ticket and can show
proof at the beginning of their trip that they have enough funds to cover
the expenses of their stay.
