Au Pair from Netherlands in France
Everything you need to know to go from Netherlands to France as an au pair — visa, salary, language overlap, and how to find a host family without an agency.
Visa & paperwork for Netherlands citizens
EU free movement applies
As a Netherlands citizen, you have the right to live and work in France without a visa or work permit. You only need a valid passport or national ID and to register with the local authorities after arrival.
Language overlap
France doesn't share a language with Netherlands, but that's part of the appeal — most au pairs from Netherlands go specifically to learn one of the local languages: French. Host families almost always speak some English.
What you'll earn in France
Beyond the cash, host families in France typically provide: Room & meals, French course, social security paid by family. Add up the savings on rent, food, and utilities and the real value is significantly higher than the pocket money alone.
