Greetings fellow Chockstoners!
I have noticed from existing TRs that a few of you have some experience climbing in France, so I thought i'd get some beta since i'm planning to head over.
I am hoping to get a working holiday visa which will mean I can holiday and work for a year, I figure since you can only do it before you are 30 (which is rapidly approaching O.o) I might as well do it now!
I am hoping to head over in May next year, and work / climb / whatever until December, where I will do a snow season. I would hope to be somewhere that I can do all of this without moving, so was thinking along the lines of Chamonix.
I speak a little French but am very keen to learn more (one of the primary motives for France over Spain / Switzerland / Austria etc).
As for climbing I am very open minded, at the moment I sport climb up to about 22, have done some very limited trad but would love to do more! I would be travelling by myself so I suppose I will do whatever I can get a catch on...
I suppose that's all I really have to go on at the moment, but any beta anyone can give (on climbing, jobs, people, long term living) would be much appreciated. Does this sound like a reasonable time of year to do all this?

thanks in advance
