                    • To stay longer than 3 months you will need to obtain the Au Pair Visa. With that visa, you can stay as long as 12 months.

                    Requirements

                    • Be between the ages of 18 and 30. (Female Au Pairs are placed quickly, while male Au Pairs can take a bit longer to be placed.)

                    • Commit to a minimum of 2 months as an au pair in France.
                    • 2-month placements are available from June through September. If you are a 2 to 3-month au pair (usually May through September) you enter on a Tourist visa that is valid ONLY for 90-days.

                    • Before you arrive in France, you will receive a timetable with duties and working days/hours, so you know exactly the working time before you go. The family must respect your time off. Should the family require you to work outside the usual working hours this must be agreed by both sides and any extra hours worked must be paid.
                    • Usually, au pairs are provided 1 ½ days off per week plus one weekend per month.
