Modeling work in Mont-Saint-Aignan
Mont-Saint-Aignan is next to Rouen in Normandy. The jurgita.com catalogue lists one agency here: JG Models, based in the Parc de l'Iton business park. The agency writes that it was founded in 2012 by Jennifer Salmi and that it provides hosts and hostesses and represents models in Normandy and Picardy: Rouen, Le Havre and Amiens. Its models section has women's and men's boards, and the agency states that it has held state approval for models aged 16 and over since 2012. Catalogue lists are on these pages: women, men.
At an agency like this, model work is often combined with events: trade fairs, launches and promotions. Before you sign, ask which jobs the agency will put you forward for, model or hostess, because different contracts and rates apply to them.

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.
