Earning a crust in France

[dave]

Can anybody help ?? We are considering buying a b/b in France,but we do not believe that this will give us all the income we would need.I do not speek much French but would be willing to work at anything,(age 57).Is ther anybody that has had the same requirements,and found something,or has anybody got any ideas?? All replys would be welcome.

Thanks

hi dave,what ever you think of to do for a crust, think of self employment,its the only way out here, im in the southwest but its the same all over france the chances of finding any job cards in is very nearly impossiable.nothing stoping you gardening for other people there is a demand but the wages arnt good.ive had a advertisment in a english paper for three months for building work and the only few calls ive had are from a hundred miles away or more wich i wont even look at,ive got a mini digger transit tipper scaffold all the tools and the know how ,there are lots of people by the way who do just gites or b/b and get enough to live on,depends on your curcumstances and wether you need a big mortgage,everyones in a different boat .bon chance
