do you need to know french to be an au pair in france?
If you know no French at all, no family will take you on as communication would be too difficult if they have no knowledge of English.
You have to know some basics as you must be able to understand what the people you will be staying with say, and be able to carry simple tasks like running basic errands, answer the phone if they are out etc...
If you have done three years of French at school and you were taught properly, you should be able to manage even though it would be very hard at first, but you would make great strides very quickly.
The only kind of family that might consider someone who knows very little French would be the kind that wants their children to be spoken to in English all the time so as to enable them be completely bi-lingual, but, if this was the case, they would prefer a person who speaks without a marked accent. A young woman I know was turned down by such a family because her English was not "the Queen's English".

au pair in france ( day to day prices)?
i am thinking of taking an au pair job in france (lac annency) i would like to know the day to day cost of things.. food, buses, cimena, shopping... the mormal things young girls need money for.
please help me out in anyway
Everything in France is expensive, but if you are an Au Pair, you live in where you are placed and have no rent to pay. You also are fed, so basically your salary, which is likely to be between €55 and €65 a week is yours to do as you wish for pocket money. Public transport in France is cheaper than in the UK. Cinemas are about the same. Clothes are much more expensive unless you buy them in a hypermarket.
You have to fulfil certain conditions such as being over 18, work a minimum of stated hours a week , and be prepared to babysit in the evening for your employers if they have young children.
Have a look at sites that give you an idea of what is expected of you.

I should mention that both you and the family who takes you on have to pay a fee, so short term Au Pairing is not very popular as your hosts are not keen on paying for someone who just stays for a month or so, and having to do it again a few weeks later to find a new girl.
