You are interested in how young French people spend their long summer holidays and
come across this article online.
Jobs d’été
Vous en avez marre de passer l'été à ne rien faire ?
Vous êtes à la recherche d'un petit job cet été ?
Un quart des jeunes de 16-21 ans sont comme vous en ce moment, selon le
journal 20 Minutes. Même si certains travaillent pour financer leurs études, ceux
qui le font pour payer leurs loisirs sont beaucoup plus nombreux.
Le job d’été idéal ? Travailler dans une colonie de vacances dans un autre pays
européen, comme l'Espagne par exemple. Beaucoup considèrent ce pays comme
la meilleure destination étrangère pour un job d’été, après la Grande-Bretagne.
Les jeunes sont partagés entre partir dans une région touristique et rester là où ils
habitent.
