If you don't speak French i'd say you've got no chance...absolutly none. My Mums retired of there and they aren't that UK friendly.

if you want to commute to Switzerland you'll be ok, they don't seem to mind foreigners speaking to them in a different language in their own country over there.

An option could be PC repair for the EX pats...there allways getting ripped off by the locals so an English speaking face is allways welcome, there's loads of ex-pat bulliten boards, try hanting a few of those...

Now aside from retraining and learning French can anyone offer any practical help/experience in finding 'reasonable' contract work for an english only speaker in the Cote d azure?
