Hi everyone,

I'm 18 years old and from Australia, travelling to Orleans, France to au pair for a family for between 6-9 months. I'm due to leave in April as long as I get the ridiculous amount of red tape with the visas and what not sorted out, and was just wondering whether anyone can direct me towards any sites or forums for au pairs that help with meeting other young people/au pairs in the same area?

Or if you're an au pair or have been one before, I'd love to hear your thoughts and advice - I've done pretty extensive Google searches and had a look on Myspace and Facebook but there doesn't seem to be too many pages (aside from negative ones!) that talk about getting the best of your au pair experience.

Also if you're au pairing in France and have stories to swap, I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks, Rachael :)

Hi Rachael,

I'm looking at au pairing in France for 6 months next year, and am just wondering how you found your experience? And how did you manage to get through all the red tape with the visa?

I would appreciate any advice you can give me :)

Thanks, Estelle
