The nearest markets

How to get started
- Take simple digitals in daylight and write down accurate measurements.
- For commercial work in the region, the local agency fits; 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. A genuine agency does not charge for applying or for a casting; being asked to pay for registration or a shoot is a sign of a modeling scam.
- Before you sign, ask the agency for its licence number: the licence is compulsory for every model agency in France.
- Contracts, tax and the rules for minors are covered on the France agencies page.
