Hi all, My partner and I are looking at working in a French chalet this summer, providing full board for clients and also carrying out maintenance, including but not limited to painting the chalet, repairing any damaged boarding outside, installing fences and other such tasks. At present our employer does not have any insurance for us. This concerns me and I want to know firstly if this is compulsory in France and also if anyone has any ideas who to get this insurance from? Would an English company be ok or would it have to be French. Thanks very much for any help in advance Dave
