Theatre work and seasonal jobs - can you help?

[SnSquirrel]

Does anyone know of production companies in France that make shows for theatres and TV etc? I've tried but it's rather hard to find out 'puppet and prop maker' wise or 'scenic/polystyrene carving'

I'm hearing some horror stories of going solo like I do in the uk being freelance so I thought perhaps it might be good to try a different approach to getting a better feel of France and still obtain income might even be to see if anyone owns a cafe or similar in France that doesn't mind my on the job learning of French and up for my working for them during the dry spells of work in the uk or fit my commissions around when they need me to work in France.

Anyone able to point me in the right direction?
