Work and travel in France: go beyond traditional

France is a country of many famous traditions such as cheeses, wines, designer clothes and perfumes. But a work exchange in France goes far beyond Paris, the Eiffel Tower or the Louvre Museum. It is worth visiting these places, eating macarons and crepes, for sure. But it's nice to know exchange programs in France, hostels, non-profits, and other places you can help and what new traditions they bring to the table. Work in a hostel in France and meet people from all over the world!
