How do you find someone to do work for you in France? You could be in need of a gardener, a builder, a decorator; a plumber the list is endless. You may be looking for a “professional service” such as an accountant, a Notaire again it is an endless list or you may simply want to find a good restaurant or bar in the area.
Classified advertising also covers a diversity of topics such as “what on” in your region, pets, home and garden private adverts offering items for sale or people looking for specific items.
The Local press English and French
You may be able to find what you are looking for in one of the many English language newspapers that are published in France for the expat community. These can be a good source of information and may help you in your search.
The internet
I personally think the best source of information in the internet and you can do simple searches in google, yahoo or any of the other major search engines for “classified advertising in france” or “french classified advertising” and you will find many websites dedicated to advertising professional services for your use.
Some classified advertising form part of a website and are sometimes tied into “forums” which may or may not be of interest to you. I would generally say that by using the forum to gather recommendations from members who have used the services of a tradesman you are considering using may be helpful.
You can also find private items for sale and items wanted on these websites so they can be a good source if you are looking for second hand furniture, or items of interest.
You will normally also find good listings of professional services offered and normally you will that the companies listed on the classified sites will normally have one or more members of staf who speak fluent English.
So you have something to sell
Well again you can advertise items for sale in the local press in English or French and of course you can use many of the French classified websites to list your item or items for free. It will probably be the best idea to run a free for sale advert in a paper and also on a classified website as this will double your chances of selling what-ever it is you want to get rid of.
