Well done Patmobile!  It is encouraging to hear that people are doing well with their rentals.  Some people just can't bear to hear positive news I guess!

Try the American Institute for Foreign Study.  Not sure if they work with the American University in Paris, but they offer great programs and scholarship opportunities (or at least they did 13 years ago when I studied in France with them!).  Good luck!

When you register with the Greffe as a commercial agent, you are given a little index size grey card (often called a carte grise), stating who you work with (or who holds the carte professionnelle).  Should anyone ask to see my credentials, this is what I am meant to show them.

Can any of the commercial agents out there currently working for an estate agency in France please shed light on this for me?  I currently work for a French estate agent as an agent commercial, have done for the past two years, and was surprised to learn that when a Belgian colleague of mine attempted to register the other day with the greffe, she was refused because apparently there is a new law stating that this status is no longer legal!  Anyone else heard about this?  And if so, what is being proposed for those currently working under this status?   I've been told that my carte grise will not be renewed, and that come the 1st of January, I may be considered to be working illegally.  Now obviously this affects all French immobiliers, so I don't quite understand.  Any input would be appreciated!
