My DDS (17) wants to spend a gap year working in Paris. Does anyone have any ideas how he can do this? He does not want to study any courses, because he's going on to do a French degree at University in 2019 (has offers for a deferred entry). He doesn't want to au-pair either. I am thinking of going over in the summer with him maybe renting a flat for two weeks and helping him find accommodation (hostel to begin with?) and bar work. He has enough money saved to live for 2 months and then needs to work. We can help a bit during the year but unpaid internships wouldn't be right because he does need to earn a bit, and anyhow they're normally for graduates not gap year students, aren't they?
Ideally he'd like to work in a bar or even a museum, or a school. He prefers Paris but would consider other French cities. His French is good. Any ideas of how he could spend a year in Paris / other parents' experiences of gap years in Paris most welcome.
