Modeling work in Beauvallon
Beauvallon is a small town in the Drôme department in south-eastern France. The jurgita.com catalogue lists one agency here: International Model Agency, or IMA. On its website it calls itself a French agency specialising in training, supporting and promoting talents in fashion, modelling and representation; the menu has sections for talents, castings, the academy and the photo book. The company was registered in 2025.
The academy and paid services
The agency runs an academy: the website says the course lasts 6 months and costs €50 a month, with modules on personal development, catwalk, professional image and professional development. The site's shop also sells a photo book for €299 to €350 and sports coaching for €170 to €350.
Before you pay. Ask in writing whether representation depends on buying a course or a shoot, and which jobs the agency has already found for its models. Under French law advice about becoming a model is free, and an agency can recover what it spends on your career only through deductions from your pay. Compare with agencies that take no money from applicants.

How to get started
- Take simple digitals in daylight and write down accurate measurements.
- For commercial work in the region, start with the local agency; for fashion work, pick a few agencies in Paris and only travel once you have been invited to meet.
- Apply through each agency's official channels. First check on the agency's profile whether it charges applicants and how much. In France advice about becoming a model is free by law, and an agency can recover what it spends on your career only through deductions from your pay.
- Before you sign, ask the agency for its licence number: the licence is compulsory for every model agency in France. The profile shows whether a licence number and SYNAM or FFAM membership are known.
- Watch out for pressure to decide or pay on the spot and for contracts that renew automatically; more warning signs are in modeling scams. Contracts, tax and the rules for minors are covered on the France agencies page.
