Hi Gregory,

The French are very much still into themselves, and do not tend to employ foreigners, unless they really have to, and speaking hardly any French, will certainly not help your cause. French employment law, is very protective of the employee, and It is very difficult for a French employer to fire a staff member.
If you are taking a skill that they desperately need, you may stand a chance, but don't hold your breath, Parlez vous Francais? non?
Bon chance! mon ami.
Bye
