ericd Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 [quote user="powerdesal"]IMHO there is nothing to stop you having a holiday in France but............any work for 'cash in hand' will be 'on the black' and is seriously frowned upon by French Authorities and other expats / immigrants alike. In a word, its illegal.[/quote]Most likely builders, plumbers or any other officially established business ......every French person I know will welcome you if you have a skill they need !!

They pay quite high social costs for being in business.There will always be 'customers' for work on the black / off the books, that's the nature of life but..........fall foul of the law, have an accident etc and you could / will be seriously deep in the merde.

Lollie Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Steve,Have you thought about contacting many of the Irish and UK holiday Camping companies who have campsites all over France. Many take on mature couples these days to do the maintenance work on the mobile homes? It will be for the season, but will give you a good idea how it all is over here?Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
