Legal framework

In France, any business placing models for profit must hold a model agency licence (Labour Code, art. L7123-11), issued by the prefect and published in the Official Journal, so you can check a Marseille agency is licensed. In addition, any advice given to a young person about entering modeling is free of charge (art. L7123-8). An agency that asks you for money is breaking the law.

The modeling market in Marseille

How to apply to an agency in Marseille

All 3 agencies I list in Marseille accept applications through an online form on their own website. You send recent, unretouched polaroids in natural light, with your measurements and date of birth. No professional book at this stage. If you hold an EU passport, you can work in France without a visa or permit thanks to free movement; a non-EU national needs a work authorisation.
