Modeling work in Le Puy-en-Velay
Le Puy-en-Velay is the main town of the Haute-Loire department. The jurgita.com catalogue lists one agency here: Eclipse Models. On Instagram it presents itself as the town's model agency and has separate accounts for its models' book and for events. We found no website and no entry in the company register, so the catalogue assigns it neither boards nor an address.
When this is all that is known about an agency, do the checking yourself: ask for the licence number, which company would sign the contract, and which jobs the agency has found for its models.

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.
