What kind of job could a 15-16 year old American get in France where a family would pay the way there?

Question

besides an au pair?

a kind of job where i could learn more french and stay with a French family, etc.

Answer 1

At 15-16 years old there is no job that you could do, even au pairs need to be 18.

Answer 2

None, sorry. Even if legally you could work in France you are not old enough.

Answer 3

Why would the parents of a 15 - 16 year old American ALLOW their child to take a job in France!?  Do you have any idea how crazy that is?  

Oh yeah, and then there are the laws.  Ummm I doubt ANY 15 year old can work in France, and no American kid is likely to get a work permit.  Wait until you graduate from University.

Answer 4

It is true about the working age and difficulty of getting a work permit for Americans.

You could consider during a short language exchange where you would live with a family and take French language classes.

check with companies like EF, CEA, ACIS.
