Modeling work in Clermont-Ferrand
Clermont-Ferrand is the main city of the Auvergne. The jurgita.com catalogue lists one agency here: Harmonie Model's, based on Rue Montrognon. The agency writes that it was founded in 1998 and welcomes you to its model agency 'in the heart of France'; it works in two fields, fashion and advertising. Its website states licence No. 63.01.98, and the company register shows the company as active.
The website has no public model board, so the catalogue assigns the agency no boards. Work in the region is mostly commercial: advertising, catalogues and local events.
The nearest markets
- Le Puy-en-Velay – Eclipse Models.

- Paris – the main market, with the fashion weeks and 94 catalogue agencies.
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.
