Work culture

French work culture values intellectual discussion, formality in initial interactions, and a clear separation between work and personal life. The 35-hour workweek is standard, and extended lunch breaks are common. Remote work adoption is growing but many companies prefer hybrid arrangements.

Hiring notes

Employment contracts (CDI/CDD) are heavily regulated with strong termination protections. Freelancers can use the auto-entrepreneur regime for simplified invoicing. Social charges are high. International companies typically need an EOR or local subsidiary.
